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.
Personalization would be the word I’d use to describe Sterling’s services as being a big benefit for us. With Sterling, I feel we have the right solutions that are tailored to our needs on a personal level. They help us figure out what’s going on and what to do about it rather than just ticking the boxes for a client, which can feel like getting lost without that personal touch.”
