Automated Sterling Background Check Scorecard

Every Monday, WebRun opens Sterling, reads how many background checks completed last week, their average turnaround time, and how many came back flagged, posts a scorecard to Slack, and pings the recruiting lead on Telegram for anything still stuck past your threshold.

In short

How do I track Sterling background check turnaround time weekly?

WebRun reads your Sterling background checks every Monday, tracking how many completed last week, their average turnaround time, and how many came back flagged. It posts the scorecard to Slack for the recruiting team and pings the recruiting lead directly on Telegram for any check still stuck past your threshold, so turnaround trends stay visible every week.

  • Turnaround trends are visible every week, not just per check
  • Stuck checks reach the recruiting lead directly on Telegram
  • Flagged-check volume is tracked alongside completion time

Questions, answered

Does it contact the candidate about their check?

No. WebRun only reports internally to Slack and Telegram. It never emails, texts, or messages the candidate.

What counts as stuck?

Any check still in progress past the elapsed-time threshold you set. It gets named directly in the Telegram escalation.

Does the scorecard include flagged checks?

Yes, it counts how many checks came back flagged last week alongside completed count and average turnaround, so trends are visible week to week.
