HireRight Launches HireRight FastForward(TM) - New Co-Branded Background Checking Solution for Distributed Organizations

Program Provides Franchises, Dealerships and Membership Associations an Easy, Cost-Effective Way to Perform Employment Background Checks

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HireRight, a leading provider of employment screening solutions, today announced a new screening program designed for organizations with related independent businesses such as franchises, dealerships and associations. The HireRight FastForward(TM) solution allows a "parent" organization to easily and conveniently offer its independent entities a pre-approved employment background checking solution that aligns with its own policies, and helps to protect its brand, reduce liability, shorten time-to-hire and improve the quality of new hires.

"One important best practice in employment background screening is to maintain a consistent, unbiased screening policy across the entire organization," said Rob Pickell, HireRight vice president of customer solutions. "This can be a challenge for certain parent organizations, like franchisors, that don't manage the day-to-day operations and policies of their independent entities. In the event of a lawsuit, the parent organization often will also be a target of the action along with their named independent unit. Implementing a background checking program helps reduce risk and protect a brand's reputation. FastForward makes it easy for the parent organization to offer a co-branded, compliant and pre-approved solution to its entities with the added benefit of volume pricing."

According to Christene J. Cottman, senior provider network developer at QTC Management, Inc., the largest provider of government-outsourced occupational health and disability examination services in the nation, "The business partners we have referred to our HireRight/QTC web site appreciate how easy it is to use and are impressed with how quickly results are achieved. We feel that the HireRight FastForward program strengthens our relationship with our partners and enhances the QTC brand."

HireRight FastForward is designed for employment background checking simplicity, speed and cost-effectiveness for both small businesses, which often do not have dedicated HR personnel, as well as larger organizations. It includes best practice package options, and advanced compliance, reporting and program management tools come standard. Flexible options for payment include by credit card and by invoice. Searches available include the full menu of more than 100 services offered by HireRight.

HireRight FastForward can be co-branded for the parent organization to help reinforce its brand. HireRight can assist with the roll out of the program, training, education, and regular assessment. Full solutions can be implemented in as little as a week with no additional charge for standard implementation.
