Ive been waiting over 10 days for sterling to complete my checks. I thought I'd give em a ring and they turned around and said the form was incorrectly filled in and we contacted you. Its the job of uber green light hub to check my documents before I submit them to sterling, but they incorectly checked the my forms. Sterling lied about sending me an email as I checked my inbox and spam folder. Now I have to wait another 12 working days and food delivery insurance purchased without using it, this is so frustrating.

The title of my review sums my experience with Sterling. Also, they asked me to resign from my current job and provide the with evidence that I have done so, despite the fact that my potential employer clearly advised me NOT to hand in my notice from my current job until my background check has been successfully completed.

unfortunately there is no -ve rating. they are running scam.. in one of the background verification, they send an email to another employee to clear background verification done and skip HR..this is fraud company. Hiring organization Or customer - beware of hires if they are verified by this company.

I wish I could give 0 stars or a negative rating for this incompetent company. I have never experienced a background check do ask for payroll information where I have signed a non-disclosure agreement with my employer(s). It seems that they have crossed the line (re Privacy Act). Their intention is to collect payroll information and then sell this information to other HR companies.

Incompetent Horrifying to think that this incompetent company - if you have the misfortune to come across Sterling - has a big hand in your life. Hopefully there are competent alternatives. If not, take this job back in house: this will save you time, money and maybe negate the bad impression you are currently giving future employees. UK

Most incompetent, arrogant and disrespectful in the field. I had a background and criminal check run by another company in my prev job and everything went fine. With these scums it's a whole awfully different story; they're demanding to fill manually many forms and they reach out to me via email every 2 days with yet another request. How about sending all requests in one shot instead of bothering multiple times a week? Also, if you ever send them an email for support they simply ignore you. Utterly disgusting. Quit your jobs and shut down!
