sterling background check for student job
6 answers
watch out if you have a common name. i had to dispute a “criminal record” that wasn’t mine. took an extra week.
Sterling lost my docs once. took 2 weeks. keep copies of everything u send.
If you’ve lived in multiple states recently, it can take longer.
mine got delayed b/c my old landlord never picked up the phone for verification 🙃
For me it was chill. name, SSN, addresses from past 7 yrs, employment history (if any).
did mine last month. they mainly wanted school enrollment proof + ID. took 3 biz days.

just accepted a student job starting in september. background check is with Sterling.
I’ve seen some horror stories here, so trying to prep. what did they ask you for? how long did it take? any red flags or delays I should watch for?
would love to avoid last-minute panic 😅
