Empowering People with Information
Listed among the 500 fastest-growing companies in the US by Inc., Intelius is the provider of more than a dozen information services, all of which can deliver critical information about specific individuals to companies and individual clients alike.
Every time Intelius sends intelligences to customers, it leverages the combined databases of public agencies from all 50 states of America. On any given day, Americans visit public agencies to file tax statements, prepare for a marriage, register a death, fight a lawsuit, buy real estate, or enroll in a school.
Obtaining records from these agencies is by far the most legitimate way to know other people better. Intellius can not only access those records, but also make background profiles of persons using those records. Besides, public records can easily give away a person’s most recent and oldest phone number, home address, sexual misconducts, bankruptcies, liens, civil judgments, professional licenses, screen names, email addresses, domain registrations, education, colleagues, property ownerships, neighbors, and relatives. It can even determine the value of a house and its sales history.
All these in turn power the company’s products and services. A consumer can go to Intelius.com, for example, to find information about a long-lost comrade in war, in a way that the local address registry can’t. A prudent parent can also easily discern a move to a neighborhood by checking with Intelius for any sex offender in that area.
Many in the information industry have given acclaim to the firm’s services — and founder Naveen Jain — for these innovations. IDWatch, the company’s range of identity theft protection tools, was the 2006 WSA Consumer Product of the Year. Along with Intelius’ reverse cell phone directory service, IDWatch was a Stevie Award finalist.
In terms of employment screening services, Workforce Management Magazine and HRO Today Magazine favor Intellius. In 2008, the company ranked #1 and #2 in the magazines’ employment screening reviews, respectively.
