HireRight is a global family of background screening companies based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Acquisitions and mergers
Powerchex
On June 23, 2010, HireRight announced that it had acquired Powerchex, a UK-based pre-employment screening company specialising in the financial services sector in the City of London.[1] Powerchex was a full member of the UK chapter of the National Association of Professional Background Screeners or NAPBS,[2] and was started by Alexandra Kelly in 2005 who is the former managing director and owner of the company.
In October 2010, Powerchex was rebranded as HireRight.[3]
Both Powerchex and Kroll Background Screening (below) are now fully owned subsidiaries of HireRight.
Kroll
On August 3, 2010, HireRight then-parent company Altegrity Risk International announced it had completed the acquisition of Kroll Inc. from Marsh & McLennan Companies in an all-cash transaction valued at US$1.13 billion. In October 2010, Kroll Background Worldwide was rebranded as HireRight.[3]
On March 13, 2018, it was reported that Duff & Phelps Corp. would buy Kroll, Inc. (which did not include background screening portion of the former Kroll business that had been rebranded with HireRight brands).[4] On June 4, 2018, the transaction was completed.[5][6]
General Information Services
On Friday, May 25, 2018, HireRight and General Information Services (GIS) announced their intent and agreement to a merger.[7] The companies announced the closing of the merger on July 12, 2018.[8] The resulting combined group is the largest provider of background screening services in the United States. Following the merger, HireRight rebranded, with both HireRight and GIS using the new branding.[9]
J-Screen and PeopleCheck
On October 12, 2019, HireRight announced the acquisition of J-Screen in Japan and PeopleCheck in Australia.[10]
Legal issues with service
HireRight was the subject of a number of class-action and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) lawsuits.[11][12] In 2011 the company paid $28 million to plaintiffs who accused HireRight of failing to provide copies of reports to job applicants and failing to resolve disputes.[11] And on August 8, 2012, the US Department of Justice announced HireRight settled charges of violating the FCRA for $2.6M.[11][13]
Companies that use background check services must follow FCRA procedures or face class-action liability with millions of dollars in exposure.[14] According to a Wall Street Journal investigation into hiring practices in the trucking industry, class-action lawsuits were brought against trucking companies over how they use HireRight.[11][15] HireRight customer U.S. Xpress settled in 2013 for $2.75M, and Swift in 2014 for $4.4M over their failure to disclose hiring practices.[16][17][18][19]
