HireRight

Global screening provider taken private by General Atlantic and Stone Point

Overview

HireRight is a provider of global background screening and workforce solutions[3]. It was listed on the New York Stock Exchange until 2024, when funds managed by General Atlantic and Stone Point Capital, which already owned about 75% of its shares, completed a take-private at US$14.35 per share in cash in a transaction described as worth about US$1.7 billion; the stock ceased trading on the NYSE[3]. Terms were negotiated by a special committee of independent directors and approved by stockholders at a special meeting[3].

HireRight’s website did not render in a form that could be read during research for this list, so its customer counts, coverage figures, product catalogue and pricing are not reported here; buyers should obtain these directly in a tender.

Like First Advantage, HireRight sells mainly to large employers through negotiated contracts. Its private ownership means it no longer publishes quarterly financial results, which reduces the transparency buyers previously had about its scale and performance.
