How you order reports depends on whether you're ordering a candidate's first report or you're ordering a report for an existing candidate.
New candidates
Use the steps below to invite new candidates by email:
- Select "Order background check."
- Set the candidate's location.
- Select the radio button for "The candidate."
- Enter up to 25 email addresses, and select Continue. Checkr sends emails with invitation links.
- Select a package and optional additional searches.
- Review and then submit your order.
If your account has a hierarchy and at least one node, you can invite candidates by node.
By default, Checkr sends the invitation every day for 7 calendar days until the candidate takes an action below:
- Authorizes the background check.
- Unsubscribes from the invitation.
To change the frequency of sending invitations, contact Checkr.
After 7 days, the invitation expires. You can cancel an invitation before it expires.
Existing candidates
To order another report for a candidate, use the steps below:
- At the top right of the report, select "Order new report."
- Select a package for the new report and request a new report for this candidate. New reports use the same candidate-provided PII as the original report and can't include packages that need more information.
You can order a maximum of 3 reports for the same candidate in a 24-hour period.
Duplicate candidate information
Checkr checks for duplicate personally identifiable information (PII) for the reasons below:
- Help prevent multiple candidates from using the same PII.
- Help identify mistakes in candidate-provided PII.
Duplicate SSNs
Checkr blocks multiple submissions of the same SSN within 30 days.
To submit the same SSN twice within 30 days, contact Checkr to remove the SSN block. You can then create a maximum of 2 candidates with the same SSN in a 24-hour period. To re-enable the SSN block, contact Checkr.
Duplicate driver licenses
You can create a maximum of 2 candidates with the same driver's license within a 24-hour period.
