With headquarters in different countries from Singapore, Hong Kong to the United States and Canada, HireRight is working towards helping organizations of all sizes and locations efficiently implement, utilize and refine their background screening programs.

Marcellus’ immense experience, strong understanding and knowledge of the local market will play a crucial role in mapping out HireRight’s development and growth across India.
