Some areas of the platform could be more intuitive and streamlined for recruiters. Reporting and result details could be more customizable to better support internal hiring needs. ----- ### "Sterling is a solid product. Everything you want in a background screening provider." — 4.0/5 > **Chris** | *15 August 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sterling has a very nice interface and overall it's a smooth running program. Great network for drug screens and timely background screening results. > > **Cons**: I would like the move to their Modern Hub completed. Right now we have the two options and can toggle between them. Do the Modern view and just continue to improve that. > > Overall excellent experience. Salesforce is top notch and customer service has been responsive. ----- ### "Good for Background Checks and Reference Checks" — 4.0/5 > **Victoria** | *15 January 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the ease of using the program, and the verification process was always very timely. Reference checks can also be conducted by employees for the organization saving HR time. > > **Cons**: I did not like that it did not integrate with the BOP which is a required check where we operate. I did not like that if there were a minor discrepancy or a reference check was not able to be completed, they would flag the account. > > Sterling was easy to use but did not offer other checks as part of the site which made it difficult because the organization had to rely on other vendors to get that information. ----- ### "Probably the best I have ever used" — 5.0/5 > **Tanim** | *27 January 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about this is, it is simple and easy to use. It is pretty works very well for Background checks, I-9 verifications and others. It is quite feature rich. > > **Cons**: It is a little slow, most of the times. Other than that, I like pretty much everything. ----- ### "TENANT APPLICATIONS AND SCREENING" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 December 2018* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This work great for performing credit checks on rental applications. Work seamlessly and gives me results within 24 hours. Plus they only charge per check so easily billed out. > > **Cons**: They seem to have a really long billing cycle so I often get a bill long after the check so have to cross check to make sure the proper person is being billed. > > The low cost and ease of use makes this product perfect for our needs. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/74964/sterling-talent-solutions?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/74964/sterling-talent-solutions) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
