Verification Checks that Match Your Needs

Employment verifications confirm a candidate’s employment history with HR, payroll, or third-party providers, including periods of standard employment as well as staffing agency assignments, military history, and periods of self-employment or contracting. Data confirmed includes most recent job title, start/end dates, and reason for leaving. We conduct employment verifications globally. Multiple available workflows offer the ability to tailor your verifications to your needs.

Education verifications verify a candidate’s education history and records with school registrars or third-party providers at the university/collegiate, high school, or home schooling levels. Data confirmed includes the candidate’s dates of attendance and degree level. University verifications will also include field of study. Education verifications are available globally. Multiple available workflows options offer the ability to tailor verifications to your needs.

Sterling’s reference verifications include interviews with professional references regarding the candidate’s performance and reliability. This service verifies competencies and job-relevant personal qualities. Multiple workflow options allow you to tailor verifications to your needs. A standard predefined reference script is used. Custom scripts are available.

Credential checks are used to identify any discrepancies between the candidate’s claims regarding their licenses and certifications and the records held by the specified licensing/certification board. A credential check confirms issuing agency, license status, date awarded, expiration date, license type, and disciplinary actions.

Timeline verification provides a chronological overview of a candidate's work, education, and other activities over a specified length of time. Gaps are automatically identified according to your requirements and submitted for verification in line with your preferences. Our automation of this service helps reduce turnaround time and provide greater consistency.
