Gulfstream chooses ClearStar as preferred labour screening provider

Background check technology and service provider ClearStar has been named the preferred contract labour screening provider by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, which designs, manufactures and supports business-jet aircraft, it announced on Tuesday.

The AIM-traded firm said that, following its selection by Gulfstream last year to provide background screening services for its direct hires, Gulfstream had now requested that the more-than-50 contract labour suppliers that place more than 3,000 workers each year with the corporation also utilised ClearStar's screening services.

ClearStar said it provides both domestic and international screening services for Gulfstream and its contractors.

The board said the company's selection as Gulfstream's partner for screening both direct hires and contract labour was based on a “thorough due diligence and demonstration” process.

Gulfstream demanded their contractors meet the same screening requirements as it did for its internal screening provided by ClearStar, and contract labour suppliers were required to submit any screen conducted by another vendor to Gulfstream for approval.

By utilising ClearStar's pre-approved services, suppliers would be able to expedite the screening process as well as benefit from the company's mobile screening solutions that it said had been designed to meet the needs of the contract labour market.

“We are confident that our unique set of mobile screening tools, which have already made us a mainstay in the contract labour industry, will bring value to Gulfstream and its contractors by making it easier and faster to screen on the go,” said ClearStar chief executive officer Robert Vale.

“The partnership signifies a vote of confidence in our screening solutions by yet another high calibre client and testimony to our ability to meet the particularly high security requirements demanded by the aerospace industry.

“As a result, we expect to receive further interest from this market as well as gain more business from the contract labour suppliers who, after utilising our services for Gulfstream, are moving more of their business to ClearStar.”
