Irvine, California-based HireRight recently won its second award within a month’s time, scoring a top prize from the HRO Today Services and Technology Association for contributing to the HR industry with its novel technology platform.

HireRight previously won a Bronze award for best new product in the human capital management solutions category from the Stevie Awards (previously known as American Business Awards) in May from a pool of over 3,600 entrants.

“Background verification can be an emotional process for a job candidate,” HireRight President Jurgen Leijdekker said. “As employers face the challenge of finding and vetting top talent, they’re looking for ways to make the background verification process an easier and more positive experience for their candidates.”

HireRight, providing employment background checks, drug and health screening, and electronic Form I-9 and E-Verify processing, attained top place in the category of screening excellence. “Applicant Center,” its original, mobile-friendly application, was lauded for user convenience and its role in helping business owners make wise hiring decisions.

The HRO Today award features companies that have made a significant, positive impact on the overall HR industry. HireRight’s new program enables users to quickly accomplish screening tasks for non-traditional or contingent employees on a global scale while conforming to regulatory compliance.

“We’re proud to be named HRO Today’s winner in Screening Excellence as we continue to help companies balance their need to hire quickly, with their desire for thorough, compliant and accurate background information,” Leijdekker said. “Our focus is equally on protecting our clients’ brands from risk, as well as extending their brand into the candidate experience.”
