Verified First or Sterling Volunteers?
Vome integrates with two background check providers. They are not duplicates, and they are used at different moments:
- Verified First runs from a person's profile. You open their profile in your Database, choose Complete a background check, and order it through the Verified First widget. That is what this article covers.
- Sterling Volunteers runs from inside a sequence. It powers the Background Check step, so the person starts the request themselves and the result syncs back to Vome on its own. See How does the Sterling Volunteers integration work on Vome?
Each is a separate integration and needs its own account with that provider.
How do you initiate a Verified First background check within Vome's admin portal?
1. Hover over the left navigation menu and click Database.
2. Click on a volunteer's profile, then go to the Actions button at the top of the view.
3. Click the Complete a background check button.
4. Click the widget that says SCREEN WITH Verified First.
5. Complete the details of the user you would like to order a background check for.
6. View the results.

Do I have to pay for the Vome / Verified First integration?
No. The Verified First / Vome integration is free of cost, so you can start using Verified First to screen your volunteers as soon as you have an account set up with them.
Do volunteers receive notifications on Vome about their background check?
No. All notifications regarding the background check are handled by Verified First. You can, however, track completion status inside Vome using a sequence, by giving the person a step that stands for the background check and marking it complete when the result comes back. If you want the request and the result handled inside the sequence itself, use the Background Check step, which runs on Sterling Volunteers.
What is the pricing structure for each background check?
Pricing is provided directly by the Verified First team. It is not included in any of Vome's plans, and you will need to reach out to their sales team for a quote. See below for the preferred pricing available to Vome customers who sign up with Verified First.
