HireRight Wins Award for Innovation, Introduces New Personalized Candidate Portal

On-demand background screening provider HireRight, has announced that its new candidate portal, Applicant Center Mobile, has won the award for best Internet/E-Commerce product in the TechAmerica High-Tech Innovation Awards. The Applicant Center Mobile platform is an industry-first personalized candidate portal that helps candidates progress smoothly through pre-employment screening. This is achieved by allowing candidates to manage their own background check progress, input data, view check status, and access help in real time on any mobile device.

“We are so pleased to be recognized for our technology innovation with Applicant Center Mobile. Our focus has always been to enable employers to improve their hiring process and help them provide a positive experience for their applicants. The employment background screening process is usually behind-the-scenes, and it can seem daunting to candidates who have questions about how it’s conducted,” said Rob Pickell, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of strategy, HireRight. “With Applicant Center Mobile, we’ve applied technology that provides candidates with visibility into the process and empowers them to manage it. We’re delighted to bring this capability to our customers and are honored to receive the TechAmerica High-Tech Innovation Award.”

The platform for the employment market offers an intuitive screening experience, increases accessibility, and simplifies data entry for both candidates and employers. Applicant Center Mobile sends alerts to candidates automatically through text or email as results from each step of the background checking process are completed. Candidates are then able to upload, email, or fax additional requested data. For more information visit the company’s website at HireRight.com.
