ALPHARETTA, Ga., Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ClearStar,
Inc. ("ClearStar"), a leading provider of Human Capital Integrity℠
technology-based services, specializing in background and medical
screening, is pleased to announce it has acquired Employment
Screening Resources (ESR), a highly respected background screening
firm. This transaction is ClearStar's second acquisition in the
past 120 days and is part of an ongoing growth strategy geared
towards acquiring and integrating best-in-class capabilities to
deliver high-quality, cutting-edge services for new and existing
customers.
"Orchestrating acquisitions which carefully align with our
strategy, exceptionally high service standards, and core values is
an integral part of our growth plan. ESR, like ClearStar, has
demonstrated a dedication to industry innovation, service
excellence, and strict compliance. Both companies are founding
members of the NAPBS (now the PBSA) and have partnered to
strengthen our industry. This partnership comes full-circle today."
said Chad Parodi, Chief Executive
Officer of ClearStar.
With ESR's base of operations on the West Coast, this
acquisition will strengthen ClearStar's ability to operate
coast-to-coast, expanding its capacity to continue to deliver
high-quality customer service across all 50 states and beyond. Both
companies have a very loyal customer base that will benefit from
combining ESR's strengths in areas such as real-time compliance
with ClearStar's strengths in areas like candidate-friendly mobile
solutions. The opportunities to integrate and cross-sell seamless,
easy-to-use, next-generation solutions, reflecting the best of both
companies, will be a catalyst for growth and a driver of future
synergies.
Les Rosen, ESR's founder and CEO,
and an industry pioneer commented, "I am absolutely delighted that
ESR is joining the ClearStar family. I have collaborated with
ClearStar for the past two decades and I am confident that this
merger will create immense value for our customers. ESR's service
excellence and ClearStar's innovative and scalable technology
platform will enable the combined company to deliver unique service
offerings to customers."
ClearStar's leadership team, and the company's owners, Hanover
Investors, view this acquisition as one more step on the journey to
scale the business and establish ClearStar as the undisputed
solution and service leader, raising the performance bar for the
industry.
John Woodard, ClearStar's
Chairman and Senior Partner of Hanover Investors commented, "This
acquisition of ESR represents another piece of the ClearStar
strategy falling into place as we look to catalyze growth and
enhance the company's value."
