This article explains some differences between Checkr's discontinued positive adjudication matrix (PAM) and Assess Standard.
Labels
The magenta Consider label is now an orange Review label.
A new Eligible label applies for reports with records that don’t disqualify a candidate. Assess Standard hides Eligible records by default. You can expand Eligible records as needed.
Candidate list
The Status column shows the stage of the invitation, such as sent, pending, or complete. The report result determines which label the Assessment column shows:
- Clear
- Eligible
- Review
Report
Select a record to read a broad definition of it. When Assess Standard labels a record Eligible, it explains why.
Guidelines
Quickstart templates
With quickstart templates, you can select from 13 common adjudication guidelines to help expand your hiring funnel and encourage fairness.
Lookback period guidelines
With lookback period guidelines, you can do the tasks below:
- Set your criteria for less-than-misdemeanor records.
- Identify records in each subcategory.
- Bulk edit by category or bulk upload using a CSV.
- Specify lookback period years for up to 55 subcategories.
Review guidelines & download
After you set your guidelines, you can save and publish them as usual. You can now download a guideline PDF in the Review section.
Adjust how Eligible records appear
You can set whether and how Eligible records appear. Assess Standard hides these records by default.
