AssureHire

What AssureHire does

AssureHire is a background screening software product line owned and operated by Mitratech, Inc., a private technology company founded in 1987 and headquartered at 2206 Plaza Drive, Suite 100, Rocklin, California. AssureHire delivers FCRA-compliant employment background checks, including criminal record searches, employment and education verification, motor vehicle record (MVR) checks, drug testing, and reference checks, with the company stating that 98% of checks complete in under 30 hours. The platform is PBSA-accredited as a Consumer Reporting Agency, holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27018, and SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 certifications, and operates 100% U.S.-based FCRA-certified support with no offshoring of personally identifiable information. Its technology stack includes a REST API, a 60-second background check initiation workflow, mobile-enabled applicant consent (claimed at 87% faster), and pre-built native integrations with ten major ATS and HRIS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Paycor, Paylocity, Fountain, NeoGov, Jobvite). AssureAlert, an add-on module, extends the platform into continuous post-hire monitoring of criminal, MVR, license, and sanction events with near-real-time alerts tied to HRIS/payroll systems.

AssureHire generates revenue through subscription and volume-tiered pricing on background screening services, sold primarily through Mitratech's enterprise field sales motion with a "Request a Demo" conversion mechanism. Pricing is quote-based and annual, structured into tailored packages that scale from low-volume to high-volume hiring organizations. The product targets mid-market and enterprise HR teams, with explicit vertical emphasis on Healthcare (OIG exclusions, license verification, sanctions), Transportation (DOT, MVR monitoring), Government (security clearances, federal compliance), and Financial Services (credit checks, FINRA verification). Named customers include Major League Baseball, Werner Electric, Grand Fitness, and Plains Commerce Bank, and the company is publicly used by 30,000+ organizations worldwide, distributed across the broader Mitratech installed base that reaches 160 countries. In 2024, AssureHire was recognized as HR Tech's Best Comprehensive Solution for Talent Acquisition.

Direct peers

• Checkr: Checkr is the leading AI-native background screening platform serving employers and ATS platforms, with native integrations into many of the same HRIS/ATS systems AssureHire supports. It is the most direct competitor on technology, customer profile, and GTM.
• Sterling: Sterling provides global background screening, identity, and credentialing services to enterprise HR teams with FCRA-compliant workflows and strong ATS/HRIS integrations. It is a close direct competitor on customer segment, regulatory posture, and product breadth.
• HireRight: HireRight is a global employment background screening provider serving enterprise and mid-market employers with FCRA-compliant checks, drug testing, and workforce monitoring. It competes head-to-head with AssureHire on enterprise screening and post-hire oversight use cases.
• Accurate Background: Accurate Background offers employment background screening with ATS/HRIS integrations and enterprise/mid-market HR as the core customer base. Directly comparable on FCRA-compliant service delivery, API/platform model, and customer profile.
• First Advantage: First Advantage is a large global background check and workforce screening company covering criminal, employment, education, and MVR checks for enterprise employers. Comparable on product surface, accreditation posture, and large-enterprise GTM.

Others

• TazWorks: TazWorks provides background screening workflow software and data integration tools widely used by CRA operators and screening resellers. Adjacent ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor, but intersects with AssureHire's CRA operations and platform/data integration layer.

Emerging players

• Certn: Certn is a newer, API-first background screening platform focused on fast turnaround and developer-friendly integration. Emerging direct competitor that targets similar ATS/HRIS integration and SMB-to-mid-market screening use cases with an AI-first product posture.

Broad incumbents

• ADP Screening and Selection Services: ADP bundles background screening, drug testing, and workforce solutions into its broader payroll and HCM platform serving millions of employers. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps AssureHire's screening offering but distributes it as part of a much larger HR services portfolio.
• Paychex: Paychex offers payroll, HR, and benefits services to SMB and mid-market employers, with background screening available as an integrated add-on. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same employer HR budget with embedded screening.
