The new partnership with Sterling, recipient of the 2021 Lighthouse HR Tech Award for Best Comprehensive Solution, is the most recent phase in a series of optimizations to the Liveops agent experience. Liveops’ partnership with Sterling creates many benefits for prospective agents, including fair reporting, a premiere candidate experience, a dedicated support structure for clients and candidates, and quicker turnaround times — 82% of reports are fulfilled within one day.
