Sterling, A First Advantage CompanyReviews of sterlingcheck.com

Absolutely horible, asking ridiculous questions, filling forms, wait for weeks, then ask for something they didn't ask before. It's now been almost a month i'm trying to get this stupid thing done. They're just making a fool out of you.

Not even worth one star. Disorganized, this company shouldn’t be labelled a reference for other recruiting companies to outsource background checks to. They seem to be under the impression that a candidate has the power to expedite their country's bureaucracy process. Ridiculous.

Racist organization. Does not approve European legal documents. I've Submitted all the right documents. Everything is absolutely legal and perfect and they just denied it for no reason. Recent passport. Share code. All matching everything perfectly clear and correct. But they just keep denying it.

Very very rude and poor management boycott sterling

I had the displeasure of working with Sterling as part of my onboarding process with a new employer and Sterling was tasked with the background check. Unfortunately I must say that is in my more than 30 years of professional experience I have rarely encountered such striking levels of inefficiency, incompetence and a complete lack of professionalism. Processing times are very lengthy and repetitive. I've had to deal with 4 different people who work there. None of them seem capable of reading, or just doing the job capably and efficiently. I have needed to resend the same information over and over again ad nauseum. No matter how many times I send them the information they request. I inevitably get yet another request to send it again. I would love to know how these people manage to get themselves dressed and get themselves to work. Cause honestly I feel like they have the intelligence of Neanderthals

Absolute joke of a company. They wasted my time over and over again. They all seem to be utterly incompetent and unable to apply any sense of logic. They would not accept my a-level certificates, which were dated and listed my school, as proof of education for that year. They also requested I provide documentation explaining why I had a 'gap' of 2 months between graduating university in June and starting a graduate scheme in September. They are continually asking me for further documentation to evidence exact dates for my education and employment despite already providing proof. Such a waste of time.

this semi-business is a TOTAL roadblock in the way for me to get a gig-economy work. Was trying to get work with Deliveroo and then with Just Eat. The way they ask for "missing" information is to reiterate in email AGAIN AND AGAIN - what they stated in the online form in the first place. i.e. you conclude that you did not send anything. The "share code" of EU citizens in the UK may be a factor, but I can not tell if all they do is parroting what they asked for already AND I provided in 100%. As well - asking to send personal details, and scans of ID documents in a regular email? YOU MUST BE JOKING!!! Hey dudes you are just ABSOLUTE AMATORS re PRIVACY. If you are an employer and want to get prospective employees checked, keep clear of this utter rubbish! AND B.T.W why would you engage some USA-based losers to do EU or UK tasks??? As well, amateurs, (Addressing these scammers here) if you operate in the UK, WRITE DATE IN UK format or ISO, not your farse-format (wherever your shed-HQ happens to be based).

Awfull. I was literally trying for weeks to veryfy my ID with the Share Code and everytime my application was declined. There is no info how to apply using share code. You can not download anything using your phone, only on computer, but you have to dig to find out about it because there is NO info about it on actual website. Then you try to download your document in PDF as asked on one of forums ( where you dig for any info to help you get through this sick system) and it wont allow you to add PDF. Seriously? Shame that such a simple thing like veryfying your right to work can be so frustrating. Unbelievable
