Irvine, Calif., May 3, 2005 HireRight, the leading provider of web-based employment screening services, today announced an alliance with VirtualEdge Corporation, a world-leading provider of Enterprise Staffing Software. HireRight and VirtualEdge have developed an integrated employment screening solution through VirtualEdge's Enterprise Staffing Suite to provide mutual customers with a more efficient means for safe and effective talent acquisition. The integrated solution helps to eliminate duplicate data entry, maintain consistency in screening and hiring processes, and reduce time-to-hire as it pertains to the background screening process.
HireRight's employment screening services compliment VirtualEdge Enterprise Staffing Solutions by providing an automated process to verify the factual information submitted by applicants for employment purposes, including criminal and employment history, education credentials, credit reports, motor vehicle records, references and more. HireRight's drug screening services are also accessible through the pre-integrated solution, enabling employers to manage many critical components of the employment screening process from one common platform.
"HireRight is very pleased to be partnering with VirtualEdge, an industry leader in enterprise staffing solutions. We are looking forward to providing mutual customers with high-value solutions that help them increase productivity, reduce costs and ultimately make better hiring decisions," said Eric Boden, president and CEO of HireRight.
"Partnering with HireRight and offering their world-class employment screening services with our solutions adds great value to our customers," said Diane Smith, CEO of VirtualEdge. "Verifying important candidate information is a critical component of the hiring process that up until now was performed separately from enterprise staffing. Our partnership with HireRight is a nice value-add for our customers and will greatly improve their workflow, saving them valuable time and money."
With the practice of employment background screening becoming commonplace, the integrated enterprise staffing and screening solution delivers a more streamlined process to initiate and review background check results.
