    Sterling integration overview

    The Sterling integration is configured to request background checks as follows.

    • The HR agent creates a case to request a background check through the Sterling service.
    • The Sterling service evaluates the request to:
      • Update the case with the background check order ID.
      • Send an email to the employee with a link to sign up and complete a background check application through the Sterling website.
    • Once the employee completes the background check application, the Sterling service performs the background check.
    • When the background check is complete, the Sterling service will update the case with the background check status and details.

    Sterling integration setup

    To set up the Sterling integration, you must provide the source credentials, verify the integration settings, and add the appropriate background check packages. Once the integration is complete, you can request background checks through the Sterling service.
