CLST.L Share Price (CLST)

http://tinyurl.com/hpv4x5r Bob Vale, chief executive officer at background checking company ClearStar (LON:CLST), tells Proactive Investors growth in 2015 came from the direct sales division as it unveils preliminary results for 2015. Vale says the company is witnessing a decentralisation of the job market in the US, which it is becoming more aligned with the "shared economy". This should lead to further growth opportunities for the company, he says.

The AIM-listed firm operates in the background check industry, screening personnel, providing medical information services and technologies that fit into the human resources systems of its customers. Today it said turnover rose by 43% to $7.5mln (US$5.2mln) in the half year to June, as the company screened more than 1.1mln potential employees for 23,000 customers. That led Cenkos to upgrade ClearStar to a ‘Buy’ with the broker claiming that the shares are now unvalued and should be attracting the attention of investors.

Mark Brown, Chief Executive of Collins Stewart plc, today said: "Against the backdrop of a challenging external environment, we have reported a strong set of results with growth in revenue and profits. They represent the rewards of two years of hard work and although the turnaround programme that started in late 2008 is far from complete, our business is now well positioned and has considerable momentum for continued growth."
