Scott Staples, Chief Executive Officer of First Advantage, appeared on the inaugural episode of the company’s live show, FA Live, on April 2, 2025. During the episode, he discussed the company’s recent merger with Sterling, referring to the integration effort as “Project Fast.” Staples stated that the integration is ahead of schedule and highlighted examples of bringing best-in-class products from each company to the other’s customer base. He also noted that the biggest risk in large-scale mergers is cultural mismatch, but expressed that the combined teams’ cultures have proven to be similar, calling this a “pleasant surprise.” Staples also emphasized the company’s market position, stating that First Advantage should “throw our weight around” and recognize its scale as a $1.5 billion topline publicly traded company. He promoted the upcoming Collaborate 2025 event scheduled for April 15–17 in Miami, Florida, and mentioned plans to soft-launch a feature for Sterling’s installed base at that event.
