Criteo Expands Global Hiring
Criteo Engages Sterling to Expand Global Hiring
Criteo Technology, a global tech media company, has chosen Sterling as its new screening provider, equipped with global compliance expertise to help Criteo hire at scale using a thorough background screening program.
Headquartered in France, Criteo also has locations in Spain, UAE, India, Italy, Singapore, the UK, and the US — 24 offices in all, with over 3,500 employees. Their commerce media platform delivers richer consumer experiences by providing marketers and media owners with high-impact advertising.
Global Compliance Challenges Impact Hiring
When hiring internationally, employers must navigate a complex regulatory landscape, each with its own laws and nuances. Criteo sought a background check partner with global screening capabilities who could help them to remain compliant with international employment law.
Criteo chose Sterling for global hiring expertise and ability to support them with best practice guidance and compliance advice. Sterling background checks are legally permissible and available in each country in which Criteo is hiring their workforce. Additionally, Criteo now relies on Sterling for products tailored to its many needs and locations, together with regular updates in country legislation to help ensure their processes stay compliant.
Further prompting the switch to Sterling, Criteo had experienced issues regarding client support and candidate experience with their previous provider. Since engaging us, Sterling’s expert support team have been available to assist Criteo quickly and efficiently with any issue they might have.
