Put Your Brand’s Best Foot Forward
A shortage of talent, high employee turnover, seasonal demand fluctuation – as the trusted screening partner of more than a quarter of the top 50 US retailers, Sterling understands the retail industry’s need for fast, cost-effective and comprehensive background checks.
Sterling is a fantastic vendor and valued partner. A perfect example of the partnership is the proactive communication and responsiveness they have shown during the COVID-19 issue. We really appreciate how quickly they have monitored and reacted to the situation, providing solutions that work for our business.”
