New Name Reflects Company’s Rapid Evolution and Global Growth Strategy

Sterling Infosystems, a world leader in the background screening industry, announced today that it has changed its brand name to SterlingBackcheck. The new name reflects the company’s astonishing growth over the past seven years, including the 2012 acquisition of BackCheck, Canada’s leading background screening company.

The decision to add Backcheck to the name is part of the company’s global growth strategy.

Sterling pioneered the automation of criminal background screening in 2003 with its CourtDirect technology that enables 70% of criminal searches to be completed in just a few hours. By leveraging the advanced screening platforms and automated capabilities of both Sterling and Backcheck, SterlingBackcheck now serves clients in 196 countries, including the U.K., India and Canada.
