HireRight Named to Deloitte's 2007 Technology Fast 50

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

HireRight, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIRE), a leader in on-demand employment screening solutions, has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Orange County, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2002--2006.

HireRight's Chairman and CEO, Eric Boden, credits a talented and committed staff to delivering 572 percent revenue growth over the five year period. "The screening industry has evolved dramatically over the past five plus years -- branching out to encompass extended and global workforces while layering on regulatory complexities and an increasingly sophisticated and diverse customer base. Over this period, our talented and dedicated team has delivered unique on-demand screening solutions that help employers keep pace with the rapidly changing screening environment. We believe our growth demonstrates that our solutions are resonating with the market," said Boden.

HireRight's increase in revenues of 572 percent from 2002 to 2006 resulted in their ranking at number 12 in the Technology Fast 50 for Orange County.

"Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional accomplishment. We commend HireRight for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity. We are proud to honor HireRight in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50," said Rick Rayson, Managing Partner, Orange County Practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP.

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues, or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.

Companies from the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
