About background checks
How it works
Background screening helps you select safe, honest
and reliable people to join your team. PeopleMatter and
SterlingBackcheck have teamed up to offer you flexible,
tailored screening solutions to fit your specific needs and
make smarter hiring decisions. Together, we are committed
to proactive technology innovation – to create tools that let
you confidently know who you are hiring.
Sterling’s employment background screening is fully
integrated with PeopleMatter HIRE™ – from requesting
consent to reviewing results. The entire employee
background screening process is simple, fast and all online.
• Select ideal candidates and
confirm their qualifications
• Safeguard your assets by reducing the
possibility of theft
• Promote a safe workplace by minimizing
workplace violence
• Protect your company’s brand and avoid litigation
Embedded screening questions collect data seamlessly
from HIRE’s online job application, and reports
automatically post to candidates’ profiles — making
background checks for employers and applicants easy from
start-to-finish. That way, you can find the best person for
the job, faster ... without wasting a lot of time and money on
the wrong one.
