Hiring Process
Overview of the Hiring Process
Step 1
Use Interview Exchange to seek approvals to fill a position and conduct a search. View step-by-step instructions for more details.
Step 2
Once offer is accepted:
a. Initiate Background Check Request
b. Submit Employee Personnel Action Form (EPAF).
Step 3
Notify your employee they will receive two emails from noreply@sterling.app. One will be to provide consent for the background check and the other will be to complete section 1 of the I-9 employment eligibility form.
The background check must be completed before the expected hire date. No one can begin employment without a completed background check. Section 1 (employee section) of the I-9 must be completed on or before the first day of employment. Email notification will be sent to the department when the background check is completed.
Step 4
New hires are emailed instructions on how to complete the onboarding process. They electronically schedule an appointment to return the tax and direct deposit forms that were emailed after completion of the background check and provide appropriate identification required for the Form I-9.
