I was not granted a satisfactory dispute process. They won't answer any questions, or substantiate things. They have knowingly provided an inaccurate representation of my motor vehicle history. They have not established if their report is certified. They do not account for their verification practic...
Absolutely awful company. Messed up my employment verification, did not even consider ways to rectify the situation, I had to be proactive to solve my issue and then the support team sounded upset I was calling them to request confirmation that everything was in order. If you can avoid them, do so.
Awful company. Highly unprofessional and incapable of running a proper background check.
It's 2018 and the company apparently hasn't heard of linkedin let alone oAuth or other ways to fill out employment history. They also have zero customer service for when they have questions about employment h...
DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS.
1. THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE PHILIPPINES
2. THEY ONLY HIRE OUTSIDE WORKERS, NOT U.S. WORKERS
3. THEIR FILIPINO WORKERS ARE EXTREMELY RUDE
4. THEY SAY, THEY HAVE SUPERVISORS AND MANAGERS TOTAL BULLSHIT. THEY DON'T EXIST.
6. THEY WILL KEEP YOU ON THE PHON...
Absolute worst, I don't get the job because the person calling is barely understandable (strong foreign accent), at least got my DOT health card and can perhaps apply to a company that does not use this TERRIBLE company for background checks. If you use a personal/professional reference this company...
Really bad customer service, but it's slowly getting better. They out source their customer service overseas, so there is quite a language barrier. Pretty much impossible to get in touch with someone in this country.
Pulled a incorrect background check with crimes someone committed in another state, when I was 9, with the wrong birth date! And they refuse to correct! You cannot run a background check without a SS number! Using only first and last name does not make any sense. My first and last name are both ver...
I received a request for employment information from SterlingBackcheck for Joi Arnae Sullivan, she's never been an employee here, but the troubling thing is SterlingBackcheck included all of Joi's Social Security number.
For a company that does background checks, this seems awfully irresponsible ...
This place is horrible. I've received a phone call from them every day this week because they were unable to contact my previous employers. They said they weren't able to reach anybody, but I was able to quite easily. By the third phone call, it was clear that I was doing their job for them.
Poor company can not get any one thats speaks English all of it is choppy and there is no real person there all a third party and the IRS SAID not to deal with them a lot of lets just say is getting bad for sterling they are thieves for steeling peoples personal imformation. ITs far from over for th...
Has DESTROYED our lives with FALSE info! Reporting someone elses criminal (3 time felon) from a state my husband has NEVER even been to. Taking their sweet time to fix because they have effed up so many others! Getting a lawyer and suing these ppl today! Anyone else victimized? Let's start a class a...
THIS COMPANY SUCKS........ they have delayed me on a job a total of 6 times now.
This company has cost me 5 jobs within one year because of the way they categorize the background checks from Level 1 to Level 3. Causing companies that will hire persons with Misdemeanors to NOT hire those persons because they believe the Level 3 means a felony conviction. And Sterling says "We do ...
Unable to resolve an issue - locked out of my account - even though the invoice has been paid and they have processed my payment. Customer service just passes the case to another person each time I call. Service rep is non-responsive to my request for help.
Horrible service, absolute incompetence when gathering information. Blows my mind companies hire them.
Place gives you the run around and delays you working with companies on how much info they need.
I tried several times to do a background check for employment and they keep saying my social security number can't be verified. I called them and left a message for them to call me. They called me back from Morocco. I live in the USA. They said my social security number is too old. Are they kidding?...
Good when TalentWise, now horrible customer service. Never able to reach a customer service rep. Not proactive in trying to resolve any issues. Phone number is not even posted on your dashboard. Just terrible!
Waiting for an email to do a urinalysis for my job. After reading the reviews (funny how all the employees rate 5 ) I'm not confident they'll send an email, or if they do, send it to the correct email address. I don't need this kind of stress.
A $4.75 million Sterling Infosystems (now known as Sterling Backcheck) Fair Credit Reporting Act class action lawsuit settlement has been granted final approval by a New York federal judge.
Irresponsible with information given to them. Sent sensitive employee data over Seas. Poor, unprofessional ...
I completed their form for a background check for a new position and they refused to contact my previous employers, saying they had no response. When I contacted my former employers, no one had contacted them. Next, this company demanded my tax returns and I knew then that was not a normal part of a...
my background check is projected to take 24 days. Most companies can do it in less than 30 minutes. Going to cause me to lose a position at the company I am applying for. WTG
I just got denied a job because these people didn't even try to contact my former employer..i gave them all the info needed as well as past tax forms proving my employemt..used a American ran buisness for next job ..3 days ..done ..i started with these guys dec 6 19 and its now 7 jan20 ..hope you do...
Terrible customer service. Employer's portal is a pain.
I wish this american founded company would hire american talent. The people that answer have no idea when it comes American law such as LLC, DBAs and differnet tax numbers... They resort to google for all their findings.. Truly embarrassing for the applicant and the company they claim to represent...
Bad company! They provide inaccurate results and use no common sense. Their customer service is not in the US and they have no idea what they re doing. Terrible place to get your background check done!
If I was a corporation I would not use this company. They have sat on my background check for almost two weeks waiting on a city that I lived in for 6 months. It took me to call them for them to expedite the request. I asked the telephone operator why they were not proactive after not hearing from t...
I'm trying to use their product just now. I've filled it out 4 times, doesn't work. I called their help tech, they told me to use Internet Explorer on Mac. IE hasn't been updated since 2003 and is no longer supporter by Microsoft. So... No. I then asked to speak to someone else because that's TERRI...
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. This is an entirely OUTSOURCED company. All their reps are offshore and DO NOT KNOW what they are doing. I submitted my W2s and my pay stubs for background verification and they marked them as 'Unacceptable Documents' to the employer. I am NOT SURPRISED at all because I guarant...
They do not deserve one star! I received a call from a Joel about a "background investigation." He was recording the call without my permission and refused to stop. I hung up.
Can't apply for a job because they can't accept my application after paying FIVE times. They have a "glitch" in their system. I GAVE UP finally...would get ZERO stars but they force you to pick a 1 star review.
Terrible customer service, phone rep was awful, would only give his first name as Bob, no ID# and would not put his supervisor on the phone. UTC made a terrible choice on this vendor.
For a background check company, they're completely useless finding information on their own. You have to do all the leg work and they "read" the paperwork you've submitted and write a "report". Any fool with a PC can find MOST of the information they request, with a simple internet search. How they...
Sterling verified my employment with a previous employer but the hr secretary gave them the wrong information. The magnitude of the discrepancy was so large that anyone with half a brain should have questioned the response. Sterling took no responsibility to make a follow up contact. If I was a cli...
This is truly a terrible place for background checks, they cant locate simple information. Their support is terrible and will tell you no additional information is needed for your BC and then an hour later you get an email for additional information. I feel like i was doing most of their job providi...
A great place to work! A leader in the category, strong management team, and innovative solutions solving complex challenges in pre-employment screening.
