Certn, a provider background screening solutions, has announced that it has acquired Credence, a provider of global background checks, based in the United Kingdom. Certn will diversify its offerings and add an impressive client roster, many of whom reside in new markets.
Credence has operated since 2009 and primarily serves the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) markets. Certn’s acquisition will benefit customers of both companies through enhanced offerings.
Hedley Clark, Owner and Managing Director, Credence, said: “Improving the way companies carry out background checks has always been one of our stated goals at Credence. When I saw the way Certn perform these checks, it was obvious that with their technical knowledge and the quality of our existing business, the combination would create a significant presence in the background screening market to the benefit of our existing and future clients.”
Doug Beavis, Sales and Commercial Director, Credence, said: “This is an exciting time for Credence. Certn’s existing and prospective customers will benefit from the enhanced geographic reach that we provide, both in and out of EMEA and North America. Credence’s clients will maintain the benefit of the company’s commitment to quality, along with Certn’s world-class client and applicant experience.”
Andrew McLeod, CEO, Certn, said: “Our mission at Certn has always been to deliver the most frictionless candidate background check experience, whilst delivering a fast, reliable and comprehensive service for our clients. We’re excited to extend this mission into new markets with a partner like Credence, whose brand is synonymous with quality. This acquisition is putting together the reliability and quality of Credence with the speed and superior user experience enjoyed by Certn’s customers.”
