HireRight, one of the leading employment screening and verification company with a presence in over 200 countries, has announced the acquisition of J-Screen and PeopleCheck, the leading background screening providers based in Tokyo, Japan, and Newcastle, Australia. HireRight, headquartered in Irvine, CA, is one of the leading providers of global employment background checks, drug testing, education verification, and electronic Form I-9 and E-Verify solutions.
Both acquisitions are integral to HireRight’s strategy to strengthen its global services overall and its presence in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region specifically. These strategic additions will deliver a superior offering for global customers seeking to hire from or in APAC, while customers based in the region will experience enhanced on-the-ground services.
“As businesses and talent become increasingly borderless, employers must be able to screen candidates on a global scale, whether hiring for local offices or the international market. Regional, in-country expertise and capabilities are vital, especially when navigating specific regulatory and cultural issues,” said Guy Abramo, Chief Executive Officer at HireRight.
J-Screen provides background screening and due diligence services in Japan and Korea and has established a robust network of public, private and proprietary information sources. PeopleCheck also provides background screening services across many industries including technology, construction, finance, telecommunications, recruitment, professional services, mining, and healthcare.
