Sterling’s Healthcare Hiring Suite

Tailored to fit your industry’s screening needs:

With direct access to 85% of US criminal search records, our background checks provide a complete picture of a candidate’s criminal history, delivering accurate results quickly and enabling safer hiring decisions.
Our drug and occupational health screening services are among the fastest and most expansive collection network of over 15,000 test sites nationwide. Sterling offers robust pre- and post-hire screening to help organizations stay compliance focused.

From employment and education to reference and credential verifications, our sophisticated database allows us to identify validated contacts in 130,000+ entities, resulting in quicker turnaround times for verifications.

Sterling’s fingerprinting services offers a national network of hundreds of collection sites, certified with the FBI, AHCA, and NMLS to submit electronic fingerprints directly. Our digital fingerprint capture technology speeds up processing time to an average turnaround time of less than 24 hours.

We offer the most in-depth product suite to allow for screening in more than 240 countries and territories in 35 languages, as well as delivering support from regionally-based teams.

Our medical sanctions, exclusions, and license monitoring solutions help healthcare organizations mitigate regulatory risk by continuously monitoring thousands of medical bodies, enabling organizations to react to a change in days, not months.

Sterling’s identity verification service allows organizations to confirm that their candidates are who they say they are, creating a safer workplace for both their employees and their patients.

Designed for healthcare organization’s unique clinical program requirements, we provide the necessary coordination of required services for candidates and following through with the completion of services, reducing turnaround time on average from 16 days to 4-7 days.

Sterling has been a true bright spot in a pretty dark year. Our partnership with Sterling began in mid-2020. Prior to that Sterling performed admirably for our Senior Care organization, “The Good Samaritan Society.” As a result of that partnership, and their convincing results amidst a pandemic, Sanford Health was compelled to reevaluate their existing partnership with another vendor. We knew we needed a partner that could deliver speed, accuracy, and technical expertise with Workday. Sterling shined when we did our vendor analysis, and I am happy to report that six months later we feel very thankful for the expansion of our partnership with Sterling.”

Having a focus on healthcare and knowing what my team deals with really helps us. It gives me more confidence that Sterling really knows what’s going on in my industry. I can trust what they say, and they bring more to the table in terms of knowing what other companies in my industry are doing.”

The whole Sterling team made it very easy and fun to work with. They all followed through with items and deadlines when requested. Great thought leaders that are proactive in solutioning for potential bottlenecks and risks. Great SMEs in the background check processes. Great customer support and client service for our Atrium Health team. All are passionate with our partnership, friendly, and true partners. Keep up the great work and client service!”

Sterling breaks out its teams by industry and has true market experts in those fields. Every industry has their own particular standards, so the fact that Sterling has a healthcare team that understands our unique challenges at Boston Children’s Hospital works really well for us.”

The biggest difference between Sterling and our previous vendor is the level of customer service and partnership we've received. It is incomparable. With our previous vendor, we never had the support needed for our international hiring initiatives and we went two consecutive months with no responses from our account representative. It is a night and day difference with the attentive, detail-oriented, client focused service Sterling has provided through the sales process all the way through implementation. Flatiron is very happy with Sterling."

I've had the opportunity to meet and work with Jon at Sterling for the first time on a large scale implementation. Despite it being a complex implementation through an acquisition, and the tyranny of distance with us being on opposite sides of the world, it has been a great success by all measures. Right from first hearing our requirements, to designing the best solution, and leading his team through implementation, Jon has brought an infectious optimism and a confidence that leaves you feeling nothing is impossible. I hope to work with Jon again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend his partnership to anyone who needs his help."

"We have been happy with what Sterling has offered and the integration with Workday worked very well. Both sides worked well together to make the transition happen smoothly. Sterling has been great resource and we appreciate their great customer service when we have needs arise.
