Verified First continues to maintain its growth and remains in the top 1000 of the Inc. 5000 list. This consistent growth displays Verified First’s willingness to drive innovation by internally encouraging creativity. 

CEO of Verified First, Devon Dickson stated, “Our growth comes from promoting within while  bringing on new talent that wants to innovate and grow into our company culture. We want to develop and care for our employees’ professional and personal goals. This care and attention is passed on to our clients, and our customers seem to notice it.”

Dickson goes on to add, “We have seen this support and investment in our employees pay off in a big way. A lot of our game changing technology comes from our employees’ ideas. This is really what sets us apart from our competition. There is a noticeable excitement about what Verified First is accomplishing for its customers and the trajectory of the company.”

Verified First offers an array of FCRA-compliant background screening options in a user-friendly platform. The patent-pending technology that Verified First has developed includes 90 different Applicant Tracking System (ATS) integrations and human resource platforms. This cutting edge technology allows an integration to be setup in mere minutes at no cost to the client and is revolutionizing the background screening industry.

Once integrated, Verified First’s software allows users to request a variety of background screenings directly inside the ATS. Verified First’s interface is extremely intuitive and makes it easy for clients to stay compliant with the FCRA and EEOC laws that govern background screening. Because of their forward-thinking technology, Verified First won the 2018 HRO Today iTalent Competition and took Gold in the Talent Acquisition and Retention Solution Provider of the Year category from the Stevie Awards in 2017.

The technology that Verified First has developed makes them stand out in a competitive industry, however, the company’s leadership believes that the people and culture are its greatest asset. 

Nick Massoth, General Manager at Verified First, said, “Giving all team members a voice doesn’t just help us remain innovative and cutting edge, it actually increases employee engagement. As we all know by now, engaged employees are more effective, connected, and caring. It really empowers us to give our customers the absolute best in the industry, which is what they deserve and what we desire to deliver. It feels good to come to work everyday and know that we are doing meaningful work in the right way with people we have genuine relationships with. It’s hard not to love that!”
