A Sterling Case Study
Liberty Healthcare Management, a family-owned senior care provider with 65+ locations and more than 4,000 employees, was hiring roughly 2,000 people a year and needed scalable, reliable background checks and drug testing. Their HR team was overwhelmed by county-level checks, oral-swab drug tests sent to offsite labs, and hours spent hand-coding paper invoices, so they engaged Sterling for background screening and drug-testing services.
Sterling implemented a tailored background-screening process across Liberty’s locations with three months of training, consolidated hundreds of checks into a single monthly electronic invoice, and sped up drug testing and reporting. As a result, Liberty reduced screening costs by about $20 per applicant (roughly $40,000 annually for 2,000 hires), cut invoice-processing time from hours to minutes, and is moving toward a paperless HR operation.
