Caisse-backed SterlingBackcheck to buy RISQ Group
SterlingBackcheck has acquired RISQ Group, an Australian provider of employment background check services in the Asia-Pacific region. No financial terms were disclosed. New York-based SterlingBackcheck, which operates in the same industry, said the deal builds on two prior acquisitions intended to expand its global footprint. SterlingBackcheck is a portfolio company of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Goldman Sachs. The latter jointly bought a majority interest in the company in June 2015.
