Hi, I recently went through a background check with Sterling/First Advantage for a position at a financial firm. I worked as a contractor through a staffing agency and was placed at a client site. I listed the client on my resume but my actual employer (staffing agency) on the BGV form. Sterling verified my staffing agency as CLEAR but flagged the resume comparison as CONSIDER since the client wasn't on my application form.

I have provided explanation to HR stating this was a standard contractor placement through my staffing agency. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did the CONSIDER result affect your offer? Any advice appreciated.
