The /identities resource allows Sterling Talent Solutions to verify the identity of a user. In the context of the Sterling On Demand API, identity verification is one prerequisite for granting trusted status.
Unlike a background screening, identity verification does not imply that the individual has passed a background check. Instead, identity verification allows a user to establish that the candidate is who they say they are.
Identity Retries and Offline Verification
If the candidate fails after these attempts, an offline verification method is highly recommended through your support teams. If a candidate is verified in this manner, a
POSTto/identitiesdoes not have to be made.We require the allocation of three attempts for candidates to complete their identity verification before failing over to a manual approach.
