Intelius: Keeps You away from Harm
In January 2003, a group of visionaries led by Naveen Jain, founded Intelius, Inc. The company’s mission is to offer quick and innovative research services that are low-priced. It also offers background information that can help protect a person from harm. Through Intelius, Jain launched an information revolution by using professional and public information.
Intelius enables consumers to make informed decisions about people through background and criminal checks. Through the products offered, consumers have found and reunited with long-lost friends and relatives. Some achieved peace and security by checking on the background details of their hired handyman, nanny, contractor, or childcare provider. Businesses use the company’s services to double check records on credit, tenancy, and employment.
As the company continues to grow, it has broadened the size and scope of its products and services. When the company started, it catered mostly to providing information on individuals. Today, it has embraced a number of other significant products and services like neighborhood reviews and employee background checks. The company also has services addressing the problem of identity theft. Under Jain’s leadership, Intellius greatly improved its profitability by adhering to advertising and telemarketing campaigns.
In 2006, the company acquired IntelliSense Corporation, a Bothell, Washington-based employment screening firm thereby expanding the scope and size of Intellius’ screening services. The market share of the company increased through IntelliSense as they strengthened the employment screening industry that helped Intellius expand its suite of employment screening services to meet the customers’ need, regardless of company or client size. Taking in IntelliSense’s infrastructure helped Intelius gain more accurate and enhanced capabilities for its numerous products and services like drug screening, fingerprinting, and international background checks. This works well for the company’s small and middle-sized customers that use the screening services extensively.
Intelius has grown so much that in 2007 it received recognition as a CODiE Award finalist for Best Online Consumer Service and as a Stevie Award finalist for Most Innovative Company.
Today, the company continues to deliver innovative, affordable, and timely research services and background information that keep consumers away from harm.
