Today we are proud to release the results of our 2017 Background Screening Trends & Best Practices Report. We surveyed 500+ U.S.-based employers on their use of background checks to gain key insights on emerging trends, technology and more. According to the survey, the consensus among organizations is that background screening is a critical business component and more than just a commodity.

Sterling Talent Solutions, the world’s largest background screening and HR solutions company, is pleased to announce its certification under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield certification – which replaces Safe Harbor – allows Sterling’s U.S. business to receive data originating from the European Economic Area with greater speed and safety.

The video was filmed with employees in our Manila, Mumbai, New York and Seattle offices.

UK Prime Minister, Theresa May officially signaled Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) on March 29, 2017, nine months after the UK citizens voted for Brexit. This action starts in motion a series of negotiations between the UK and the remaining 27 European Union (EU) Member States, represented by the European Commission. There is a two-year deadline for these negotiations, which will cover everything from trade to immigration to employment laws. If no agreements are made and no decisions are taken to extend negotiations, the UK’s trade relationship with the EU will revert to the rules of the World Trade Organization, which could greatly affect Britain’s current trading position. Regardless of the agreement process, the impact will be significantly felt by many UK employers, with global corporations in the United States watching what happens especially closely.
