In 1997, Accurate Background was founded with a clear vision: to simplify the world's most complex screening needs for global employers. What started as a background screening company has evolved into the largest privately held, minority-owned global provider of employment background screening services. The company recognized early on that background checks weren't just a formality - they were a first impression for candidates and a critical decision point for employers.
Over the past 25+ years, Accurate has grown from a small screening provider to serving over 16,000 customers worldwide across six continents, conducting 60 million+ annual searches in 30 languages. The company's journey includes strategic acquisitions like CareerBuilder Employment Screening in 2020, which expanded their capabilities to become the most comprehensive workforce screening solution available. Today, Accurate continues to innovate with mobile-first platforms, API integrations, and automated court access, all while maintaining their core values of taking ownership, being open, staying curious, and working as one team.
