While the volatile economic environment has seen many companies doing downhill, Intelius, Inc., a Bellevue, Washington-based information and security provider has managed the uphill climb toward the technology industry’s fastest growing companies in the continent.
Founded in 2003 by Naveen Jain, Intelius‘ average growth since its inception has made it the 8th among 50 fastest growing companies in the Washington area and among the 500 fastest growing companies in North America as categorized by Deloitte and Touche. It registered an impressive 1,576% growth from 2003 to 2007. It has secured a consistent market for its innovative portfolio of information-based products and services including background checks, identity protector, verification, criminal checks, property checks and business employment screening providers.
Its aggressive online marketing strategy, enhanced customer services and easy-to-use site platforms have become a popular choice among individuals who are seeking quick access to personal and professional information of individuals they are considering for employment or service. With Intelius, the time-consuming task of searching for volumes of information on public repositories of information has been simplified into step-by-step searches on the Internet.
Intellius has also carved a reputable name because of proprietary semantic technology that has led to a faster and more reliant and convenient protection, people search, and employment screening services. Products including iSearch, the unique people lookup service; and IDWatch, the identity theft protector; have reaped awards for product excellence, from the 24th Annual CODiE Awards and WSA Annual Industry Achievement Awards, respectively.
Apart from its growth figures and numerous awards, another testament to its success is Intellius‘ visitor traffic on the Web; according to Quantcast, it enjoys 3 million visits a month. In addition, its recent acquisition of Spock — a people search engine — and establishment of a second operational unit in Bothell tell its competitors it is geared up for more.
