Education and Employment Verification

Make sure you know who you’re hiring with the support of industry-leading pre-employment verifications backed by a powerful fulfillment engine. Sterling Backcheck’s verification services deliver fast, detailed confirmations of a candidate’s educational background, job history, and other credentials so you can be confident in every new hire.

Identity Verification

Identity Verification is designed to help you mitigate risk through a simple process where candidates verify that the information they provided about themselves, such as their name and date of birth, is indeed their own. This allows employers to verify that candidates are in fact who they claim to be. In the transportation industry, for example, your drivers may need to verify their identities from remote locations. In any situation where remote verification is needed, both accuracy and reliable technology play critical roles.

Reference Checks

Reference Checks are a valuable tool for screening candidates but can be time-consuming and difficult for hiring managers.

Beyond telephone interviews, Sterling Backcheck also offers online reference interviews. Fast and economical, these online questionnaires can also be complemented by telephone follow-up to validate and verify answers. Furthermore, we can customize the references to better serve your organization.

Social Media Searches

With social media becoming a fundamental way billions engage with each other, social media background checks are increasing in popularity to minimize risk of a bad hire. Sterling has partnered with Fama to offer clients the ability to screen potential and current employees using publicly available online information. Our solution helps organizations build great cultures by identifying traits that align with an organization’s values, while also enhancing ethical decision-making and compliance by proactively recognizing risk-creating behaviours such as bigotry, racism, and sexism.

Speed and Ability to Scale

In the heavy-industries category – be it construction, manufacturing, or transportation – fast turnaround times help decrease time-to-hire so you can get your candidates to work sooner. We help yield a positive candidate experience while helping clients quickly address workforce shortage and recruitment challenges.

Adapting Over Time

Because client needs, standards, and the environment around each industry change regularly over time, background screening programs should be assessed over time. Our dedicated account management team members have decades of experience in your industry, enabling us to tailor products and services to meet your unique background check program needs on an ongoing basis.
