DECEMBER 2019HR TECH OUTLOOK 19screening once is simply not enough. Circumstances change, and so do people," Elizabeth asserts.People are dynamic, and so is the risk they pose to organizations. Post-hire insider threats range from embezzlement, fraud, theft, and even violent behavior. A one-time background screening captures a moment in time, yet it does not account for the dynamic nature of risk factors.Real-time screening, in fact, continuous real-time screening, is the future of screening. This continuous screening is facilitated by growth in various technologies, including digitization of records, integrations, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Sterling RISQ's ongoing investment into these technologies is delivering an ever-increasing range of ongoing screening and real-time monitoring for our clients.The amount of data individuals are sharing about themselves online, coupled with the technological capability to amass and analyze individual data, is also fundamentally changing the way companies are assessing people. Artificial Intelligence can cover huge datasets that can be analyzed and connections and patterns between different data elements made within hours. This is transforming the background and identity verification process--making it faster, more accurate, and more efficient.Sterling RISQ recently launched a new solution, social media screening. The search employs the use of advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to comb thousands of websites for both user-generated and third-party relevant content, revealing the presence of toxic online behavior or negative online activities.In tandem with technological innovation, Sterling RISQ offers a consultative client-centric experience and deep expertise in the markets and geographies we serve. This deep understanding of the geographies we serve and our client centricity ensures Sterling RISQ stands out from its competitors. "Unlike the cookie-cutter approach of many companies, we understand the social infrastructure, culture and legislative frameworks of our region, allowing us to effectively customize our services and solutions," remarks Elizabeth.Elizabeth highlights an instance where a multinational company with offices in 14 countries across Asia-Pacific needed a robust screening policy that aligned to global trading policies and diverse hiring regulations. Aligning a diverse workforce with a global standard is a challenge for providers without deep market expertise and a strong global compliance framework."Sterling RISQ is focused on keeping pace with the ongoing market and technological changes to ensure we provide best in class, fast, and accurate background and identity services delivered with the needs of both client and candidates at the forefront of all we do while grounded in a strong global corporate governance and compliance framework," concludes Elizabeth. We deliver customized screening services to provide the foundation of trust and safety that our clients need to create great environments for their most essential resource, people. We believe everybody has the right to be safe
