The Sterling – Yoti partnership will enable an exclusive digital identity
verification workflow to be integrated directly into the hiring process,
allowing employers to take an identity-first approach, where a candidate's
identity is verified before completing other background checks, and before
actually being hired. This strengthens pre-employment checks, reduces or
eliminates the need to use physical documents, and creates a simplified hiring
and onboarding experience for both employer and candidate.
Furthermore, candidates who verify their identity through Sterling and Yoti
will be able to seamlessly create a secure, reusable digital identity. This
will allow them to verify their identity once and share their details with
other businesses in seconds, making the verification process more streamlined
for employers and candidates. Individuals will be able to use their digital
identity for future job opportunities, age verification, and any process
requiring identity verification.
"We're thrilled to partner with Yoti, an international leader in digital
identity verification, expanding access to Sterling's identity offerings to
employers globally," said Josh Peirez, CEO, Sterling. "This partnership will
provide our clients with an exclusive, fully-integrated digital identity
solution that will streamline and simplify identity verification in hiring
processes and improve the accuracy of background checks."
Robin Tombs, CEO at Yoti said: "We're delighted to combine our digital identity
verification technology with Sterling's expertise in background screening to
create an innovative, integrated digital identity solution. We can offer
companies the most comprehensive, secure, and efficient employment checks. By
adopting an 'identity first' approach, employers can be confident the correct
person is applying for the job, and benefit from a smooth onboarding process.
Our digital identity checks will streamline background screening and improve
efficiencies throughout the hiring process."
Sterling and Yoti have partnered together to create a fully-integrated
workflow, structured entirely around reusable digital identity and
privacy-preserving standards. Sterling clients and their candidates will be
able to enjoy the unique experience across Sterling's international regions
starting in 2023, with the first phase beginning in the UK.
