Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• HireRight: HireRight is a large pre-employment screening platform offering background checks, drug testing, and increasingly occupational health and personality assessment. It is an incumbent in the buyer category SFPS serves (employers seeking evaluation services) but addresses screening at scale rather than via deep clinical psychology.
• Sterling (Sterling Talent Solutions): Sterling provides enterprise background screening, identity verification, and pre-employment services including occupational health adjacencies. Comparable to SFPS as a broad incumbent in the pre-employment evaluation ecosystem that employers turn to for candidate screening.
• RCM Technologies (RCM Health Care Services): RCM Technologies, through its health services segment, provides large-scale psychological, medical, and staffing assessments to government and enterprise buyers. It represents a scaled incumbent offering an overlapping capability set to SFPS's government and fitness-for-duty work, but with materially greater breadth and headcount.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest direct-to-consumer telehealth therapy platform, offering self-pay behavioral health services online. It is comparable to SFPS in self-pay, virtual-delivery therapy model but addresses general mental health demand rather than the specialty assessment and forensic niche.

Direct peers

• ForensisGroup: ForensisGroup provides forensic psychological and psychiatric evaluations, expert witness services, and IME-style assessments for legal and court settings. It is directly comparable to SFPS in its forensic evaluation ($/hr) model, court testimony services, and immigration-related psychological assessments.
• Cielo Psychology Services: Cielo is a small specialty psychology practice delivering forensic, immigration, and diagnostic evaluations to attorneys and individuals. It is comparable to SFPS in niche evaluation focus, self-pay orientation, and small-firm operating model.
• Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates: Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates provides forensic psychological evaluations, competency and sanity assessments, and immigration evaluations on the West Coast. It is comparable to SFPS in forensic service mix and California-based delivery.
• Law Enforcement Psychological Services (LEPS): LEPS specializes in pre-employment psychological evaluations, fitness-for-duty assessments, and MMPI-based screening for law enforcement and public safety candidates. It mirrors SFPS's employment-evaluation product set and similar public safety buyer segment.
• Vantage Point Forensic Assessment: Vantage Point performs court-ordered competency, sanity, and immigration psychological evaluations with usage-based hourly billing. It overlaps with SFPS on the forensic evaluation product and the legal-system customer segment.

Emerging players

• Caron Treatment Centers: Caron provides substance use disorder treatment, DWI education, and offender program services across multiple U.S. locations. It overlaps with SFPS's TDLR-certified DWI-E/DOEP course stream and serves a similar DWI/drug-offender population, but at substantially greater scale and with residential programming.
