IRVINE, Calif. & Chicago--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

HireRight, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIRE), a leading provider of on-demand employment background and drug screening solutions, today announced at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) National Conference 2008 (booth #4007) the availability of HireRight Professional(TM), an enterprise-class on-demand background screening solution that helps mid-sized companies quickly identify the best job candidates and provide those candidates with a positive hiring experience, while reducing screening-related administrative tasks and accelerating time-to-hire. HireRight Professional provides robust features and process automation in a solution designed for the unique requirements of mid-sized companies seeking ways to more effectively manage their screening programs.

According to Rob Pickell, HireRight vice president of marketing and product management, "At HireRight, we are committed to providing organizations of all sizes with on-demand employment screening solutions that match their unique requirements. With HireRight Enterprise(TM) and HireRight Express(TM) already available for the enterprise and small business markets, respectively, the release of HireRight Professional helps round out our comprehensive suite of solutions with an offering built specifically to address the screening needs of medium-sized organizations."

For mid-market companies whose screening programs are frequently a combination of manual administrative work, disparate systems and error-laden processes, HireRight Professional will deliver a whole new paradigm, by offering the following benefits:

    --  Accelerates Time-to-Hire -- HireRight Professional allows
        screening to be performed on multiple candidates at once while
        an easy-to-use interface, smart features, pre-configured
        screening packages, online consent forms and electronic
        signatures further accelerate the completion of otherwise
        manual tasks. By leveraging the HireRight service delivery
        platform, HireRight Professional is designed to return high
        quality results in some of the fastest times possible.

    --  Reduces Administrative Tasks -- Through the use of extensive
        process automation, a streamlined ordering process and a
        central screening dashboard, HireRight Professional reduces
        paper usage, manual procedures and the number of required
        clicks and inputs to manage a screening program.

    --  Helps Keep Users Informed -- To keep recruiters and internal
        stakeholders informed of the status of the background check on
        a given individual, HireRight Professional provides users with
        features like e-mail alerts, team status updates and real-time
        visibility into in-progress reports.

    --  Enables Program Control -- HireRight Professional provides
        compliance tools, package and permission settings as well as
        analytical reports that help employers meet their regulatory
        and company policy compliance requirements.

    --  Ensures Privacy and Security -- Multiple levels of best
        practice data security systems and procedures are designed to
        protect sensitive personal information both within HireRight
        systems and for the customer as they interact with the
        solution.

    --  Improves the Candidate Experience -- HireRight Professional
        provides a positive experience for the candidates of employers
        utilizing the solution, reducing the risk that job candidates
        are lost while also helping to protect the employer brand.
