With the Checkr integration, it will become a simple click to request background checks on your candidates. If the integration isn’t enabled yet in your account please first follow the instructions under Setting up the integration.

1. To request a background check, go to the candidate profile you want to check. Click on More and in the dropdown menu choose the Background check option

Or choose for + Background check under the CV / Resume block.

2. Make sure the correct email address is filled in. The background check can’t be requested without an email address. From the drop-down menu, choose the Background check package you want to perform.

When your Checkr account has defined Account Hierarchy, information under Work location will be required to fill in. Country, province or state, and city will be pre-filled based on the location of the job this candidate is assigned to.

You can still add a work location even if your Checkr does not require it.

Click on Send and Checkr will email the background check to the candidate.

3. After this, a Checkr badge is added to the profile. This way you and your teammates can see if a background check was already requested. If you hover your mouse over the badge it will display the requested background check package and the status of the request.

4. Scroll down in the candidate’s profile to view the background check status. Each background check status will be updated in real-time in the candidate’s profile. There are eight statuses:

5. You can run as many background checks as you want for a candidate in Recruitee. If you click on a background check report you can view the report in Checkr itself.
