How the HigherMe + First Advantage E-Verify Integration Works

Once a candidate completes their paperless onboarding in HigherMe—including the I-9 form—the integration with First Advantage automatically initiates an E-Verify case. You can review and submit documentation directly within HigherMe, then track the status of the E-Verify case from your dashboard—no need to log in to separate systems or duplicate efforts.

Integrate smarter, work faster

Traditional
Manual Process

❌ Print and distribute paper I-9 forms

“Integrating E-Verify directly into our HigherMe onboarding has been a game-changer. We no longer juggle paper I-9s or log into multiple systems—everything happens right in the dashboard. Our compliance risk is down, and we can focus on welcoming new hires instead of paperwork.”
