Sr Director, Sales

When you join Accurate Background, you’re an integral part of making every hire the start of a success story. Your contributions will help us fulfill our mission of advancing the background screening experience through visibility and insights, empowering our clients to make smarter, unbiased decisions.

About us 

As the UK’s leading independent employment screening provider, we’ve worked hard to establish our reputation for excellence in service and technology. Our clients see us as both a critical supplier and a close partner, we work collaboratively with their HR and recruitment teams to onboard their new employees quickly and compliantly.

With ambition to further globalize services in support of clients and future growth potential, Vero was delighted to announce in July 2022 its acquisition by Accurate Background, a US firm, and the largest privately held provider of background checks in the US. 

The acquisition unified two employment screening market leaders, providing both organizations and their respective clients with a range of benefits, amongst which a new EMEA headquarters in the UK for Accurate, and the opportunity for Vero to develop greater client experience and service for the company’s growing roster of multinational clients.

There’s more to employment screening than you might think and there’s plenty of exciting change and opportunity on the horizon.

Be open.

Be open to new ideas. Be inclusive of people and ways of doing things. Make yourself accessible and approachable, and communicate with genuineness, transparency, honesty, and respect. Embrace differences.

Stay curious.

Stay curious even as you move forward. Tirelessly ask questions and challenge the status quo in your pursuit of new ideas, ways to solve problems, and to continually grow and improve.

 Work as one.
