BURLINGTON, Mass., March 19, 2007—The Employer Services segment of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV) today announced that it is the first to introduce a suite of pre-employment skills assessments that measure key user competencies with Microsoft® Office 2007 applications, including Word 2007, Excel® 2007, PowerPoint® 2007 and Access 2007 applications.

The company’s Microsoft Office 2007 testing package contains 140 interactive test questions covering all major features of Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 and Access 2007.
