PreCheck to create 30 new jobs in Alamogordo

ALAMOGORDO — Gov. Susana Martinez announced Wednesday that PreCheck will expand their presence in Alamogordo, creating 30 new jobs.

PreCheck, the nation's largest provider of background verification and credentials for the health care industry, opened their doors in Alamogordo in 2007. In 2008, PreCheck expanded the Alamogordo facility after Hurricane Ike impacted their headquarters in Houston. In 2009, the company made the decision to completely relocate their headquarters to Alamogordo.

"Since coming to New Mexico, we've found that New Mexico is filled with great hard-working people and that this state is great for business," said PreCheck President and Chief Operating Officer Zach Daigle. "Since 2010, the business climate has improved dramatically, and we now have tools like LEDA and JTIP to help our company grow in New Mexico. We look forward to our expansion and continuing to give back to the Alamogordo community and the State of New Mexico."

Martinez announced Wednesday the State of New Mexico will provide PreCheck with $100,000 in Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) funds. LEDA helps recruit new businesses to our state while helping those that are already here grow and thrive. In addition to the state's LEDA money, the City of Alamogordo has also committed $50,000 in LEDA funding to the project.

"Since 2011, we've enacted major reforms to make New Mexico a great place to do business. Now we're seeing the results," Martinez said. "We need to keep fighting for the bold reforms and critical tools that have allowed companies like PreCheck, Facebook, and many more grow in New Mexico. Let's continue to build on our success."

This is PreCheck's second major expansion in New Mexico supported by LEDA. In 2014, PreCheck expanded their facility and created 40 new jobs. At that time, the New Mexico Economic Development Department allocated $75,000 in LEDA funds towards the expansion of PreCheck's facility.



"Having the tools and business-friendly environment we need to spur job growth in our community is important, and it helps us to continue to improve the lives of the people of Alamogordo," said Alamogordo Mayor Richard Boss. "It is thanks to local and state economic development champions, the governor's office and local business owners that we have these tools and favorable environment. I want to thank PreCheck and the Governor's office for continuing to be great partners as we move our community forward."



PreCheck has also utilized the Job Training Incentive Program to consistently ramp up growth.



"Thanks to Governor Martinez' reforms, we have the tools and environment we need to help companies in New Mexico grow and thrive," said Economic Development Secretary Matt Geisel. "Keeping tools like LEDA and JTIP strong allows us to help companies thrive and create new jobs in our communities."
