Proven Market Expertise

Acute Care

Protecting your patients is of utmost importance and with lives on the line, the pressure to quickly hire and onboard quality nurses, doctors, and all members of your healthcare team is constant. Sterling can help alleviate this by dramatically reducing the time-to-hire from weeks to days by leveraging advanced technology across our healthcare services and solutions. We provide hospitals and other similar health systems with one of the fastest background screening turnaround times. Our healthcare-specific solutions and expertise around regulatory requirements enable you to hire your best candidates so you can deliver quality care to your patients.

Post-Acute Care

We understand how the recruitment and turnover challenges can hinder the safe operation and staffing of specialist care providers. Our expertise extends to long-term care, home health, behavioral health, senior living, and hospice. Recognising that both speed and safety are priorities in accommodating a vulnerable healthcare population, our ability to automate background screening minimises hiring time without sacrificing staff quality. By shouldering and streamlining the hiring and change management process, we help free up your staff’s valuable time so they can focus on their patients.

Healthcare Staffing

New healthcare employment models are radically changing how doctors, nurses, and all other healthcare workers connect to potential employers. To accommodate the fluctuating demand for full-time, part-time, locum, and even gig options such as travel nurses, healthcare staffing organisations need a hiring workflow that is streamlined, yet comprehensive. Sterling combines industry expertise with the advanced technologies your organisation needs to successfully execute your talent acquisition strategy.

Life Sciences

The world saw how quickly life sciences organisations innovated and responded to the need for a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine. Now organisations providing life-saving medicines and biotechnology rely on keeping critical roles filled to support ongoing research and development programs. At Sterling we leverage automated hiring workflows that help reduce time-to-hire without sacrificing your organisation’s safety. We partner with pharma, biotech, and medical device organisations to cut background checks down from weeks to days. Understanding that many life sciences companies operate globally, our screening and compliance solutions cover 240+ countries and territories. With life sciences needing to respond to the increasing demand for constant innovation, our screening and compliance solutions enable organisations to make informed hiring decisions so they can continue providing life-saving medicines and technology.

Social Media Searches

Social media has become a fundamental way billions of people engage with each other around the world. With social media’s importance in so many people’s lives, it’s not surprising that hiring managers search online content to learn more about their candidates. Social media checks can provide insights that help employers mitigate risk and hire better quality candidates. Our solution identifies traits that align with an organisation’s values, while also enhancing ethical decision-making and compliance by proactively recognising risk-creating behaviours such bigotry, racism, and sexism.
