Background check procedures at Sterling (NASDAQ: STER), a prominent provider of background and identification solutions, have been simplified through a partnership with digital identity business Yoti.

This partnership brings together Sterling’s 45 years of experience in background checks with Yoti’s cutting-edge identity verification system. Sterling’s digital identification capabilities will be strengthened through the global relationship, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Yoti is a startup that uses digital identity verification to make it easier for people to establish their credibility and security online and in person. Identity verification, age verification, document eSigning, access management, and authentication are just some of the verification services they now offer internationally.

Through their collaboration, Sterling and Yoti have made it possible for an exclusive digital identity verification flow to be built directly into the hiring process, enabling businesses to take an approach in which an applicant’s identity is first confirmed before any further background checks are conducted or the hire is finalised. This improves pre-employment screening, lessens or eliminates the need for paper documentation, and streamlines the hiring and onboarding processes for everyone involved.
