SureHire Occupational Testing

What SureHire Occupational Testing does

SureHire Occupational Testing (legal entity SureHire Inc.) is a privately held Canadian occupational health and safety services company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. It delivers drug and alcohol testing, fitness-to-work assessments, occupational health testing (audiometric, pulmonary function, spirometry, mask-fit), background checks, and corporate health and wellness programs primarily to safety-sensitive employers in oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and large corporate accounts across Canada (12 provinces and territories) and the United States (10 states). Its proprietary Level 1-5 Assessment Scale and Physical Demands Analysis methodology provide granular, legally defensible hiring recommendations beyond binary pass/fail outcomes, and the platform has accumulated 2M+ testing experiences across 1,600+ company clients with a reported 97% same-day processing rate and 4.8/5 average participant rating.

The company operates a hybrid delivery model combining company-owned Exclusive Testing Facilities (ETF), Independent Testing Facilities (ITF), Power Centres (PC), a mobile collector fleet, and self-service digital channels including the SureLink portal for bookings, results, and invoicing, and the iNTELLECT learning management system for recurring safety and compliance training. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on testing engagements, subscription/recurring revenue from portal access and the iNTELLECT training platform, and tiered corporate account management (Basic, Plus, Premium) sold via a B2B sales-led motion supplemented by self-serve booking and 24/7 post-incident response. The go-to-market combines dedicated client advisors for enterprise accounts, mobile/on-site testing for distributed workforces, and a content-heavy marketing funnel targeting occupational health keywords.

Growth has been financed through cash flow and strategic acquisitions rather than disclosed external funding, with two 2024 transactions—COHR Health (May 2024) and Spectrum Safety Services—broadening the service portfolio into adjacent occupational health and safety training. The company is pursuing SOC 2 Type 2 certification and expanding its US footprint, positioning for upmarket enterprise accounts while broadening its assessment portfolio to include aptitude, skills, psychological evaluations, oral fluid, and point-of-care testing.
