Human Resources: nc. Magazine Reveals Its 25th Annual List of America's 500 Fastest-Growing Private Companies

New York, August 28, 2006 - Inc. magazine has announced its 25th annual Inc.

500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country and has

ranked HireRight, a leader in on-demand employment background screening

solutions, No. 427 on the list, with a three-year growth rate of 343.6

percent.

HireRight, a global firm that focuses on providing employers with on-demand

employment screening solutions which make it possible to easily and

efficiently manage compliant, company-wide employment background and drug

screening programs, attributes their growth to the company's unique solution

and service offering and its ability to meet the needs of the market.

"It's an honor to be ranked among the nation's fastest growing companies,"

said Eric Boden, HireRight Chairman and CEO. "The substantial organic growth

that our organization has experienced and continues to experience is a

testament to both the market's demand for our distinctive solutions and the

relentless focus of our dynamic team."

The 2006 Inc. 500, as revealed in the September issue of Inc., reported the

most robust group of companies the magazine has ever compiled, with aggregate

revenue of $19.7 billion, up from $16.5 billion last year and $12.9 billion in

2000. The two largest companies on this year's Inc. 500 are the biggest ever

to make the list - No. 170 Western Refining ($3.4 billion in revenue) and No.

376 Newegg.com ($1.26 billion) - and the third and fourth companies in Inc.

500 history to crack the billion-dollar mark.  In all, 14 companies topped

$200 million in annual revenue, compared with 11 last year.

Most important, the 2006 Inc. 500 companies were engines of job growth, having

created more than 90,000 jobs since those companies were founded.

This year's list is the first to include businesses that started up

immediately before and after September 11, 2001 - including the No. 1 company

and 20 companies in the top 50 - as well as many companies that had to raise

capital after the dot-com bubble burst. In total, 104 companies listed on this

year's Inc. 500 were started after 2000.

"If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look

at the Inc. 500," said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. "These are the most

innovative, dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones coming up

with solutions to some of our most intractable ills, creating systems that let

us conduct business faster and easier, and manufacturing products we soon

discover we can't live without. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine's tribute

to American business ingenuity and ambition."
