Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 7.53.46 AM

FirstAdvantage, the vendor that will run your background check will be reaching out to you for 2 most recent and relatable work locations and your latest education degree.

Please prioritize on following the steps on the FirstAdvantage email- you should receive the email 30 days prior to your start date or upon hire. 

If you have been previously employed by HubSpot, please do not add it as part of your work history.

When is the People Operations team reviewing my background check?

The People Operations team will be reviewing applications once completed closer to your start date.  Should additional information be needed, we will contact you directly.

People Operations will not be reaching out if they don’t need more information,  that means  “no news is good news."

I have Work or Education Discrepancy in my report.

Once the background check is completed and, if People Operations feels they need to get additional information for work experiences or Education, they will reach out directly to you to request more information closer to your start date.

If you have a discrepancy we suggest you have the following documents available, just in case, HR reaches out:

  • Work: Offer Letter,  W2 or 1099, Paystubs, Employment Verification Letter
  • Education: Diploma, Transcript, Graduation Completion Credentials
The People Operations team is not as strict with the documents shared as FirstAdvantage. Any evidence that points out that you work or studied in the places submitted will suffice.
Can I start with HubSpot if my application still in progress?

Yes.

The People Operations team will review the in-progress background check and, if everything looks good, we will wait until it is completed.
If we have any questions, we will reach out directly to you while you are onboarding.
When will FirstAdvantage reach out to prior employers?

FirstAdvantage will start contacting prior employers immediately after the request is submitted by the candidate.

If you do not want FirstAdvantage to reach out to your past employers: 

You will have the option to opt out on FirstAdvantage contacting your past employers while filling out your work experience. However, you will need to provide this information directly to FirstAdvantage with a combination of documents such as W2, 1099, Offer Letters and/or Paystubs. 

What should I do if I have technical problems with FirstAdvantage?

FirstAdvantage is a third party vendor, and given this arrangement HubSpot People Operations is not able to assist when technical problems arise. 

You can always open a ticket directly with FirstAdvantage's support team by sending an email to candidate.support@fadv.com or visit this website to chat with a live agent and get real-time assistance.

Can I see the progress of my background check process and view the report once it is complete?

You will have full visibility into your FirstAdvantage report once complete! To view the report, log into your Candidate Hub - the results will be posted under "Reports." 

If I have questions regarding my background checks who should I reach out to?

However, if you have a question about how to complete your background check, please contact people@hubspot.com.

HubSpot People Operations cannot intervene when a background check is in progress. If you have a question about what was submitted, you can always open a ticket directly with First Advantage's support team by sending an email to candidate.support@fadv.com or visit this website to chat with a live agent and get real-time assistance. They are ready to help. 

Please be aware that our incredible People Operations team will be reviewing applications once completed, should additional information be needed, they will contact you directly. A general rule in this process is that “no news is good news!"
