The process for creating background screening orders with Sterling depends on the integration option selected for your organization during configuration. The following is a brief description of the difference between the two options:
- Sterling (Legacy): You create and monitor the status of background screening orders on the Sterling website. Dayforce provides you with a link to the Sterling login page to simplify this process, but none of the background screening information is stored in Recruiting.
- Sterling Direct: You create and monitor the status of background screening orders directly in Recruiting, without having to go to the Sterling website. Also, if you authorized Sterling to release candidate date of birth and SSN information to Dayforce, that information is populated automatically when you open the Candidate Hire form for candidates who have completed the screening.
