Skillcheck Rebrands To First Advantage

Company to Market Its Services as the Assessment Solutions Division

SHRM CONFERENCE AND EXPO, WASHINGTON, D.C., June 26, 2006 - SkillCheck, Inc., acquired in February 2006 by First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV), a global risk mitigation and business solutions provider, announced today that it is rebranding and will go to market as the Assessment Solutions Division of First Advantage as it aligns with the company's Hiring Solutions Group. Under the First Advantage brand, the Assessment Solutions Division will continue to be the leading innovator in skills and behavioral assessments while it leverages the growing brand of its global parent company.

The Assessment Solutions Division's skills and behavioral testing products and services help clients in staffing agencies, corporate human resources departments, training organizations and schools to effectively and efficiently measure job knowledge, skills and abilities in software, clerical, computer literacy, IT, call center, food services, retail sales, light industrial, accounting, behavioral, medical and legal areas. First Advantage offers more than 800 assessment products, available in multiple languages, for personal computers, networks and Internet deployment, in addition to customizing programs to meet targeted testing needs.

"This is a great opportunity to closely align with First Advantage, a fast-growing company committed to helping human resource professionals meet real-world needs," commented Jon Haber, senior vice president of the Assessment Solutions Division of First Advantage. "Under the First Advantage banner, we will be providing a broad range of skills and behavioral testing solutions to U.S. and international organizations that are dedicated to improving not just recruitment processes, but all aspects of HR."

"First Advantage is committed to providing unique, versatile products and services to its clients that take advantage of the latest technology," noted Rick Mansfield, executive vice president of First Advantage's Hiring Solutions Group. "Our new Hiring Solutions group includes cutting-edge, innovative offerings in recruiting, applicant tracking and – with the addition of Assessment Solutions – candidate screening through assessments."

An updated Web presence accompanies the brand change. First Advantage's Assessment Solutions new site features an upgraded design, additional content and quick links to First Advantage’s corporate site. The new website address is www.FADVAssessments.com.
