OnGrid, a leading digital trust and background verification platform, today announced the acquisition of Reczee, a recruitment technology company offering an agentic Applicant Tracking System (ATS). The acquisition marks a strategic step in OnGrid’s broader effort to strengthen how organizations manage trust, accountability, and compliance across the employment lifecycle.
As hiring becomes faster, more distributed, and increasingly compliance-driven, organizations often face a disconnect between early hiring decisions and downstream verification, onboarding, and workforce governance. OnGrid’s expansion upstream addresses this gap by bringing greater continuity and structure to how hiring flows into trust and compliance processes.
“This acquisition will add significant value for clients seeking to integrate basic and instant verification directly into the application and hiring cycle, rather than initiating background checks only after an employee joins,” said Piyush Peshwani, Co-founder, OnGrid. “We started out as customers of Reczee, using the platform for hiring at OnGrid, and quickly came to love the product. We’re now genuinely excited about the AI capabilities that Reczee brings to the table – and even more excited to partner with Raj as we take this platform to international markets. We believe this combination will unlock meaningful efficiencies and significantly reduce hiring risk for our clients.”
Founded in 2016 by IIT Bombay alumni, OnGrid operates across digital trust, safety, and compliance. Its solutions spanning background verification, identity checks, KYC, and KYB are used by over 4,000 organizations, with more than 1 billion verifications and transactions processed to date.
With this acquisition, OnGrid extends its presence earlier in the hiring journey, allowing organizations to bring recruitment workflows closer to the trust and compliance systems that follow. This reduces dependence on fragmented tools and manual handoffs, while improving visibility and governance across hiring, onboarding, and workforce operations.
The addition supports OnGrid’s long-term focus on enabling organizations to move quickly without compromising on control, auditability, or regulatory readiness, particularly in high-growth and regulated environments.
“Recruitment is where trust begins,” said Raj Patel, Founder of Reczee. “Joining OnGrid lets us connect AI-driven hiring with what comes next; onboarding, verification, and long-term workforce accountability via eLockr.” Raj is a seasoned product and tech leader, having scaled engineering and product teams at BrowserStack and Harness before founding Reczee. He now joins OnGrid’s technology leadership team to drive the next phase of its hiring and workforce platforms.
The acquisition reinforces OnGrid’s commitment to building foundational infrastructure for trusted hiring at scale. The company will continue investing across verification, APIs, and workforce systems, with this move supporting its broader roadmap to simplify and standardize how organizations manage trust across the employee lifecycle.
