Trustify to add 184 jobs in Arlington

Trustify, an IT company that connects clients to private investigators, plans to create 184 jobs in a $1.04 million expansion of its operations in Arlington County.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership will support Trustify’s job creation through its Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP).

VJIP provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs or experiencing technological change to support employee training activities.

“Arlington provides employers and employees many benefits and advantages that are not available in other areas and communities,” Trustify Founder and President Jennifer Mellon said in a statement. “We believe the DC Metro area, in general, is a beacon of inclusive innovation with some of the best percentages of women and diversity in tech compared to the rest of the country. We have transportation, office, and community options and benefits that made this area the clear choice for Trustify.”

Trustify, founded in 2015, puts clients from across the U.S. in touch with a nationwide network of vetted private investigators. Its services for businesses include trust and safety checks; business intelligence; fraud and loss protection; and financial investigations.
