An integral part of this action pillar is creating avenues for safety as a fundamental principle, as well as a right to work, and Sterling’s raison d’être centers on the principles of “safety” and “trust”. The legacy of trust that we have built in the industry of background and identity screening over 40+ years, comes from a place of caring deeply not only for clients and their candidates but also for our colleagues. The strongest value that we have fostered at Sterling is that of starting every relationship with trust and consistently nurturing it with empathy, camaraderie and veritable action that proves it true every day! Our ongoing investment in technology affords our clients to reap the benefits of ‘expanding time sovereignty’ which is not only an important action point from the ILO Report but also critical to flexibility that comes from harnessing technology to expand choice.
Sterling’s Small & Medium Business (SMB) team uses comprehensive technology-based solutions and responds to the report’s appeal to reach out to those involved in new or growing business models. Our SMB team helps to provide solutions that are affordable, geared for small businesses and effectively counter the pitfalls of hiring without investing in background screening. David Bloom, Sterling’s GM for Small & Medium Business, shares both his insights as well as the advantages of background screening for SMBs in this online interview with Don Mazzella, Editor-in-Chief, Small Business Digest.
At Sterling, we believe humans will continue to exert control in an age where the imminent threat of AI “taking over” looms large. By using AI to sift through gargantuan data, our technology promotes people to make informed decisions in selecting the right candidates easier. Our undivided focus on data privacy further encourages a “human-in-command” design of work.
