“Our operating principle from the start was to provide the accurate, reliable information our clients needed to hire with confidence and to validate the trust our clients put in us with each and every background check,” saidJim Davis, chief executive officer at Verified Person. “We know Sterling Talent Solutions is uniquely qualified to deliver on these principles now and into the future.”
Verified Person joins Sterling Talent Solutions as it accelerates its multiyear strategy of domestic and global expansion. In January 2016, the Company announced its merger with TalentWise, a leading cloud solution provider for the Human Capital Management industry focused on helping HR executives build and maintain compliant workforces. In May 2016, it announced its acquisition of RISQ Group, a background screening leader in the Asia Pacific region. This M&A activity follows the announcement in June 2015 that Goldman Sachs and La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) had acquired a majority interest in the company.
