    Note

    Some Checkr partners directly handle billing and invoicing.

    The "Payment & billing" page in the Checkr Dashboard allows admins to do the tasks below:

    • Set up or change payment information at any time.
    • Open or download Checkr-issued invoices for your organization.
    • Download a copy of your account's W-9.

    Payment

    In the Payment tab, you can add or edit payment information and update your billing email address.

    Use the steps below to update your billing email address:

    1. In the Billing email field, enter the updated email address.
    2. Click the Update my account button.

    If your monthly invoices are less than $2,500, Checkr asks you to provide a payment method for automatically paying your account's invoices each month. The payment method can be either a bank account or credit card, and you can add one of each.

    Add bank account information

    Checkr can process invoices through a linked banking account, called an Automated Clearing House account. To allow Checkr to process invoices through a bank account, enter the information below:

    • Account holder’s name
    • Routing number
    • Account number

    After your account information saves, your bank account will show 2 microdeposits in 2-4 business days. To verify your bank account, enter both deposit amounts in the Payment tab. Checkr can process payments only for verified bank accounts.

    Add credit card information

    To allow Checkr to process invoices through a linked credit card, enter the information below:

    • Credit card holder’s name
    • Card number
    • Security code
    • Expiration date

    Invoices

    You can use the Invoices tab to do the tasks below:

    • Quickly review past invoices and their payment status.
    • Download a CSV file of the invoice's specific charges.

    The Invoices tab has the columns below:

    • Month: Find the month that Checkr issued the invoice.
    • Amount: Find the total for the invoice.
    • Reports: Download the invoice's report_usage.csv file. This file shows the report, candidate, search, and invoice fee.
    • Invoice: Download a PDF for the invoice.
    • Status: Find whether the listed invoice is currently pending or paid.

    If your account has a hierarchy with at least one node, invoices show two additional columns:

    • Cost center: Find the name of the node associated with the background check.
    • Hierarchy: List the cost center's parent, its parent’s parent, and so on to a root node.

    For more information about invoice charges and timing, refer to a resource below:

    Documents

    The Documents tab has two download links:

    • Checkr's W-9 form: PDF of Checkr's most recent W-9 for tax purposes
    • Checkr Customer Payment Information: PDF of Checkr's ACH information
  • Manage account settings

    The "Account settings" page of the Checkr Dashboard allows admins to manage your Checkr account and individual users to manage their account settings.

    Use the Settings tab to edit your account settings.

    Checkr populates the fields below while creating your account:

    • Company name: This name appears in candidate-facing emails you send from this account as well as in the Candidate Portal for your candidates.
    • URI name: This name appears in the links for your Candidates page, and you can't edit it.
    • Account logo: This image appears in candidate-facing emails.

    Enter information for the fields below:

    • Support phone or email: Enter the phone number or email address that candidates use to submit evidence of rehabilitation or other context during the adverse action process.
    • Billing email: Enter the address where Checkr will contact you about invoices and other billing communications. This email address can't log in to the Checkr Dashboard.
    • Adverse action email: Enter the address that will send pre- and post-adverse action emails from you to candidates.
      This address also receives the undeliverable notice if the candidate's email doesn’t work. If your adverse action email address can’t receive messages, Checkr emails your addresses in the order below:
      1. User email for the account that initiated the adverse action process
      2. Adverse action email
      3. Support email
      4. Billing email
      5. Technical contact email

    If none of these addresses work, the undeliverable notice goes to all users with at least admin account permissions.

    • Technical contact email: If your company uses the Checkr API for integration, enter the person to contact for technical communications. Checkr uses this email address to contact your organization about important Checkr API issues or updates.
    • Compliance contact email: Enter the person to communicate with Checkr about compliance issues or updates. Checkr uses this email address for updates about candidate disputes and changes to background check reports.

    Manage account and candidate notifications

    Set email notifications

    Use the Notifications section to select the content and frequency of your automated email notifications. You can set email notification preferences at the user level. To receive these notices, your account must have at least one subscribed user.

    Checkr can send emails about the topics below:

    • All report updates: Receive an email for any changes to report status.
    • All candidate updates: Receive an email when a candidate receives an invitation or an invitation expires.
    • All candidate stories: Receive an email for every candidate story submission.

    Notifications about more specific report and candidate events are also available. For example, you can receive email notifications about specific report status changes.

    Set candidate notifications

    Checkr sends both email and SMS notifications by default, and you can customize what candidates receive.

    Disable candidate notifications

    Notifications are critical in ensuring that candidates can submit information and complete their background checks promptly. Disable notifications only in the situations below:

    • Disable candidate invitation emails only if you want to manually send candidates links to their background check invitations. Even if you disable email invitations, candidates still receive emails when Checkr needs information from the candidate.
    • Disable all candidate SMS notifications only when you want to turn off all SMS communications that candidates receive.

    Manage partner applications

    Use the "Application settings" tab to create and manage partner applications for your account.

    To create a new partner application, select "New partner application."

    Manage partner integrations

  • Review and set Assess Standard guidelines

    Read More

    Assess Standard compares your guidelines to state or county criminal records in a candidate's report. Assess Standard then assigns your eligibility status to each individual record. You can set 2 types of guidelines: templated and lookback period.

    Review Assess Standard guidelines

    Quickstart templates

    Assess Standard helps you with starter guidelines that align with best practices and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidance for considering criminal records. These guidelines apply to all records.

    Records that searches find in the categories you select have the Clear status.

    Quickstart templates have 4 sections:

    • Assess non-felony deferred/alternative adjudication records as Clear.
      • A deferred or alternative adjudication record has NOT resulted in a conviction. In most cases, deferred and alternative adjudications result in some form of court supervision instead of jail time and criminal conviction. Upon successful completion, a judge often dismisses the records.
      • The entry of alternative judgment can show that the court believes that the defendant is a good candidate for rehabilitation and isn't a danger to the community. By allowing non-felony dismissed alternative adjudication records, you can demonstrate your practice of giving careful consideration to the gravity of records.
    • Assess all pending records as Clear.
      • Pending records haven't yet received a final verdict. A pending record means that nothing has been officially decided in court, and the prosecutor is still reviewing the record.
      • Under the FCRA, pending records are reportable for up to 7 years. However, some states have passed additional restrictions on both reporting by consumer reporting agencies and use by employers. For example, a state could allow pending felony records to appear but not a pending misdemeanor record.

    • Assess records with less-than-misdemeanor severity as Clear.
      • These lowest-level-severity records, such as infractions, can include both convictions and non-convictions. These records typically receive only fines as punishment.
      • Where reportable, these records can appear on Checkr reports for up to 7 years.
    • Assess non-felony records older than 7 years as Clear.
      • This guideline focuses on the time that has passed since the record. If a non-felony record is more than 7 years old on the background check date, it appears as Clear.
      • Records result in either conviction or non-conviction. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely. To help encourage access to employment, some states restrict the reporting of all records, regardless of outcome, after 7 years.
    • Assess all records older than 7 years as Clear.
      • This guideline focuses on the time that has passed since the record. If a record is more than 7 years old on the background check date, it appears as Clear.
      • Records result in either conviction or non-conviction. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely. To help encourage access to employment, some states restrict the reporting of all records, regardless of outcome, after 7 years.

    • Assess non-felony marijuana possession records as Clear.
      • As more states legalize medical and recreational use of marijuana, several states and cities have begun to lower employment barriers for individuals with previous low-level marijuana convictions. These laws often restrict employers from denying employment based on previous marijuana convictions.
      • Marijuana possession is a specific category of criminal records and can be either a conviction or a non-conviction. Under the FCRA, non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely.
    • Assess non-felony drug possession and paraphernalia records as Clear.
      • This guideline combines the categories of criminal records below with severity, or record level:
        • Drug Possession
        • Intent to Possess Drugs
        • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
        • Possession of Drug without Prescription
      • Specific record categories can be either convictions or non-convictions. Under the FCRA, non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely. State laws might further restrict reportability.
    • Assess vehicle and traffic records as Clear, except for DUIs and events resulting in death.
      • This category includes all records in the categories below and assesses them as Clear:
        • License & Registration
        • Parking
        • Speeding
        • Unsafe Operation
        • Vehicle Equipment
      • This category excludes all records in the categories below:
        • Driving Under the Influence
        • Hit & Run Causing Death
        • Reckless Driving Causing Death
    • Assess public nuisance records as Clear.
      • This guideline assesses as Clear all records in the Public Nuisance category, including the ones below:
        • Disorderly Conduct
        • Littering
        • Loitering
        • Maintain a Disorderly House
        • Noise Ordinance Violation
        • Obstruct Passageway
        • Public Urination
        • Unlawful Storage
    • Assess prostitution records as Clear.
      • This guideline assesses the records below as Clear:
        • Promoting Prostitution
        • Prostitution
        • Soliciting a Prostitute
      • This guideline doesn't include the record Prostitution Involving Minor.
    • Assess records that qualify for Checkr's expungement service as Clear.
      • Records that this setting identifies are potentially available for expungement.
      • Many states are passing legislation that allows for certain offenses such as marijuana possession to be expunged, or removed from public record. However, awareness, cost, and a complex legal process prevent most people from pursuing expungements. Only about 6.5% of legally eligible people actually receive an expungement.

    • Assess records from when the candidate's age was younger than 18 as Clear.
      • This guideline focuses on the candidate's age at the time of the record. Records from when the person was 18 years old or younger appear as Clear.
    • If the candidate is now older than 28 years, assess records from when the candidate was younger than 25 as Clear.
      • This guideline focuses on the candidate's age at the time of the record. Records from when the person was 25 years old or younger appear as Clear only if the candidate is currently older than 28.

    Guidelines for lookback period

    Guidelines for the lookback period focus on how many years have passed since the record's most recent event, called the "context date." Setting guidelines for the lookback period is similar to setting an "age limit" for each of 55 record categories. You can indicate when you consider the record no longer relevant and want it assessed as Clear. By default, all record categories appear as Review.

    Note

    Setting an extended lookback period, such as 99 years, doesn't change the scope of your search.

    Use the fields to enter lookback periods for records older than the number of years you enter. More recent records appear as Review. Any cell with no assigned time since record defaults to Review.

    Select the record type to read a description. These descriptions vary by state and aren't specific legal or statutory definitions for the crimes. Checkr recommends assigning a guideline for the time since record to each record category.

  • Review and set Assess Premium rules

    Read More

    Assess Premium compares your rules to state or county criminal records in a candidate's report. Assess Premium then assigns your eligibility status to each individual record.

    Review Assess Premium rules

    You can set 4 types of rules.

    Assess helps you adopt predefined fairness and compliance rules that align with best practices and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidance for considering criminal records. These rules apply to all records.

    Records that searches find in the categories you select have the Eligible status.

    Fairness and compliance rules have 4 sections:

    Non-convictions

    • Assess dismissed charges as Eligible.
      • A dismissed disposition means the record did NOT result in a conviction. This classification covers both certain dismissals and findings of non-guilt. For example, the court dropped the record against the defendant or the defendant was found not guilty or responsible after trial.
      • By assessing dismissed records as Eligible, you can better align your evaluation practices to EEOC enforcement guidance that states the existence of a criminal record alone doesn't mean criminal conduct has occurred.
    • Assess non-felony deferred/alternative adjudication records as Eligible.
      • A deferred or alternative adjudication record has NOT resulted in a conviction. In most cases, deferred and alternative adjudications result in some form of court supervision instead of jail time and criminal conviction. After successful completion, a judge often dismisses the records.
      • The entry of an alternative judgment can show that the court believes that the defendant is a good candidate for rehabilitation and might not be a danger to the community. By allowing non-felony dismissed alternative adjudication records, you can demonstrate your practice of giving careful consideration to the gravity of records.
    • Assess all pending records as Eligible.
      • Pending records haven't yet received a final verdict. A pending record means that nothing has been officially decided in court, and the prosecutor is still reviewing the record.
      • Under the FCRA, pending records are reportable for up to 7 years. However, some states have passed additional restrictions on both reporting by consumer reporting agencies and use by employers. For example, a state could allow pending felony records to appear but not a pending misdemeanor record.

    Charge severity & timing

    • Assess records with less-than-misdemeanor severity as Eligible.
      • These lowest-level-severity records, such as infractions, can include both convictions and non-convictions. These records typically receive only fines as punishment.
      • Where reportable, these records can appear on Checkr reports for up to 7 years.
    • Assess non-felony charges older than 7 years as Eligible.
      • This rule focuses on the time that has passed since the record. If a non-felony record is more than 7 years old on the background check date, it appears as Eligible.
      • Records result in either conviction or non-conviction. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely. To help encourage access to employment, some states restrict the reporting of all records, regardless of outcome, after 7 years.
    • Assess all records older than 7 years as Eligible.
      • This rule focuses on the time that has passed since the record. If a record is more than 7 years old on the background check date, it appears as Eligible.
      • Records result in either conviction or non-conviction. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely. To help encourage access to employment, some states restrict the reporting of all records, regardless of outcome, after 7 years.

    Charge type

    • Assess non-felony marijuana possession records as Eligible.
      • As more states legalize medical and recreational use of marijuana, several states and cities have begun to lower employment barriers for individuals with previous low-level marijuana convictions. These laws often restrict employers from denying employment based on previous marijuana convictions.
      • Marijuana possession is a specific category of criminal records and can be either a conviction or a non-conviction. Under the FCRA, non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely.
    • Assess non-felony drug possession and paraphernalia charges as Eligible.
      • This rule combines the categories of criminal records below with severity, or record level:
        • Drug Possession
        • Intent to Possess Drugs
        • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
        • Possession of Drug without Prescription
      • Specific record categories can be either convictions or non-convictions. Under the FCRA, non-convictions, such as certain dismissed records, are reportable for up to 7 years. Convictions are reportable indefinitely. State laws might further restrict reportability.
    • Assess vehicle and traffic records as Eligible, except for DUIs and charges that happen because of a death.
      • This category includes all charges in the categories below and assess them as Eligible:
        • License & Registration
        • Parking
        • Speeding
        • Unsafe Operation
        • Vehicle Equipment
      • This category excludes all charges in the categories below:
        • Driving Under the Influence
        • Hit & Run Causing Death
        • Reckless Driving Causing Death
    • Assess public nuisance charges as Eligible.
      • This rule assesses as Eligible all charges in the Public Nuisance category, including the ones below:
        • Disorderly Conduct
        • Littering
        • Loitering
        • Maintain a Disorderly House
        • Noise Ordinance Violation
        • Obstruct Passageway
        • Public Urination
        • Unlawful Storage
    • Assess prostitution records as Eligible.
      • This rule assesses the records below as Eligible:
        • Promoting Prostitution
        • Prostitution
        • Soliciting a Prostitute
      • This rule doesn't include the charge Prostitution Involving Minor.
    • Assess records that qualify for Checkr's expungement service as Eligible.
      • Records that this setting identifies are potentially available for expungement.
      • Many states are passing legislation that allows for certain offenses such as marijuana possession to be expunged, or removed from public record. However, awareness, cost, and a complex legal process prevent most people from pursuing expungements. 

    Candidate details

    • Assess records from when the candidate's age was younger than 18 as Eligible.
      • This guideline focuses on the candidate's age at the time of the record. Records from when the person was 18 years old or younger appear as Eligible.
    • If the candidate is now older than 28 years, assess records from when the candidate was younger than 25 as Eligible.
      • This guideline focuses on the candidate's age at the time of the record. Records from when the person was 25 years old or younger appear as Eligible only if the candidate is currently older than 28.

    Custom rules apply across all record categories and can include variables such as the ones below:

    • Candidate’s age at disposition
    • Number of offenses
    • Record age

    Custom rules can include multiple conditions. All conditions must be true to apply a rule.

    A lookback period is how many years have passed since the record's most recent event, called the context date. Setting lookback period rules is similar to setting an "age limit" for each of 235 charge categories. By default, all charge categories appear as Review for your defined lookback periods. You can customize your rules by the age of the record as well as the record type in each category.

    Note

    Setting an extended lookback period, such as 99 years, doesn't change the scope of your search. For example, even if you set a 99-year lookback period, you receive results only from the 10-year search scope.

    Lookback period rule example

    Use the guidelines below to enter lookback periods for records:

    • Records appear as Eligible if they happened longer ago than the number of years you enter in the Eligible column. To assess a charge as always Eligible, enter 0 in the Eligible column.
    • Records appear as Escalated if they happened within the number of years you enter in the Escalated column. To assess a charge as always Escalated, enter 99 in the Escalated column.
    • All records between the Eligible and Escalated numbers appear as Review.
    • Any row with no assigned lookback period defaults to Review.

    For example: Enter 7 in the Eligible column and 2 in the Escalated column to achieve the result below:

    blobid0.png

    Select the record type to read a description. These descriptions aren't specific legal or statutory definitions for the crimes. Checkr recommends assigning lookback periods for each record category.

    Define rules based on how frequently a candidate's history includes a selected record type. These rules apply across categories and other rule types. Repeated records rules apply after other rules and can change a record's assessment to require additional review.

    Repeated records rule example

    For example, you might set the 2 rules below:

    • A lookback period rule marks speeding offenses older than 4 years as Eligible.
    • A "Count is more than 3" rule marks 4 or more speeding records as Review.

    If a candidate has 3 speeding records older than 4 years, the records are Eligible. If instead that candidate has 4 speeding records of any age, all 4 records are Review.

    Hierarchy of rules

    Rules apply in the order below.

    1. Compliance rules for your account
    2. Positive adjudication matrix rules
    3. Assess Premium rules
      1. Fairness rules
      2. Custom rules
      3. Lookback period rules
    4. Repeated records rules

    If a record conflicts with a rule, Assess applies a status and doesn't evaluate for subsequent rules.

    Non-conviction charges

    Before making your adjudication decision, you should carefully review all charges with no conviction disposition. Non-conviction charges can  the ones below:

    • Arrest
    • Deferred/alternative adjudication
    • Dismissed
    • Expunged
    • Invalid
    • Merged
    • Pending
    • Transferred
    • Warrant

    Set your Assess Premium rules

    Show or hide Eligible records

    You can set the Checkr Dashboard to show or hide records that your rules assess as Eligible. The settings below that you enable apply to all assessed records for your account.

    • Display Eligible records: The locations below show records assessed as Eligible:
      • Candidate Portal

      • Candidate Portal
      • Checkr API
      • Checkr Dashboard
      • Report PDF
    • Hide charges with Assessment "Eligible" from the Pre-Adverse Action modal: When you begin the adverse action process, this setting means you can't select records assessed as Eligible to include in the pre-adverse action notice.
    • Auto-engage candidates when their report is assessed as "Eligible": Automatically engage candidates whose reports have the Eligible assessment.

    Add new Assess Premium rules

    Assess Premium guides you through adding custom rules. Rules apply in the listed order. If you edit a rule, you can reorder the list.

    You can create custom rules in 2 ways:

    • Duplicate existing rules.
    • Create new custom rules.

    You must have a default set of rules for your account or assign a set to a work location.

    Duplicate existing rules

    To duplicate existing rules to use for a new rule, use the steps below:

    1. From the menu, select Duplicate.
    2. Name the new rule.
    3. Select Create.
    4. Select Publish.

    Create custom rules

    To create custom rules, use the steps below:

    1. Select "Create new rule."
    2. Enter a rule name.
    3. Select an assessment: Eligible, Review, or Escalated.
    4. Select "Applies to" from the menu, and select a search type.
    5. Select "Add a condition," and select a condition from the menu:
      • Age at offense is
      • Charge is
      • Charge severity is
      • Count is
      • Disposition is
      • Years since charge is
      • MVR status was
      • Registered on list
    6. Use the second menu to define the condition's parameters.
    7. Add more conditions to define your rule, and select Save. After you save the rule, use the icons to copy, edit, or delete it.
    8. Select Publish.

    For the returned records to have the defined assessment, the records must meet all of the rule's conditions.

    Assign rules

    After you publish a rule, assign it to the work location or package you want to apply it to. You can also make a set of rules the default for your account.

    You can assign rules to multiple work locations or packages. More restrictive assignments take precedence over more general assignments.

    Assignments apply in the order below:

    1. Package + work location
    2. Package + segment
    3. Package
    4. Segment
    5. Work location
    6. Account default

    To assign rules, use the steps below:

    1. Select "Assign rules" from the menu.
    2. Select the package or work location to assign the rules to.
    3. Use the checkboxes to select specific packages or work locations.
    4. Save the rules.

    Assignment example

    For example, you can create 3 sets of rules and assign them to 3 different entities:

    • Account's default rules: Assign as the account's default.
    • California general rules: Assign to a location representing California.
    • California driver rules: Assign to the California location and the driver package.

    Assess then applies rules to the reports below:

    • A report in New York City uses the account's default rules.
    • A report in San Francisco with a non-driver package uses the California general rules.
    • A report in San Francisco with a driver package uses the California driver rules.
    Note

    You can assign rules to any number of packages or work locations. You can assign work locations, packages, and segments to only 1 set of rules at once.

    Manage lookback period rules

    You can use CSV files to import or export your lookback period rules.

    To download a blank template, select "Export template."

    After the CSV file downloads, you can edit your existing rules by uploading an edited CSV file. All new rules you upload overwrite your existing rules. To import your CSV file as a new set of lookback rules, select Upload CSV.

    Review previous rules

    You can review the settings for each published version of your rules.

    In a rule, open the menu and select View Versions. A window shows all published versions of the rule with the user name and publication date.

  • Self-Service SSO: Enable Single Sign On using SAML for your account

    Read More

    You can establish SAML connections with your preferred identity provider (IdP) and use Checkr as a service provider (SP).

    Checkr supports the standard SCIM APIs. To provision SCIM API for your account, contact Checkr.

    Prerequisites

    Checkr SSO has requirements for SAML connections, and more specific requirements for IdP-initiated and SP-initiated connections. Before initiating the connection, review your Checkr account and IdP setup to confirm that your setup is compatible with Checkr SSO.

    For all SAML connections

    • Checkr doesn't provide and can't interpret SAML metadata.
    • Checkr uses HTTPS at the transport layer to secure network traffic you send to us. Checkr doesn't support additional assertion encryption.

    For IdP-initiated connections

    • If you have multiple Checkr accounts, each account requires a separate SAML connection.
    • If you choose only IdP-initiated connections, Checkr can't prevent your users from changing their passwords on the Checkr platform. If you use SP-initiated connections with an email domain, Checkr can enforce these rules.
    • Your Checkr account allows users to have different email address domains.

    For SP-initiated connections

    • If your organization has multiple Checkr accounts, you must first confirm that each of your email domains is attached to only one Checkr account. For example, users with an @bobsplumbingservice.com email address can be associated with only one of your Checkr accounts. Your users must log in to separate Checkr accounts with separate email addresses.
      • Checkr accounts allow multiple unique email domains to be associated with that account’s SSO connection Each unique domain can be associated with only one Checkr account.
      • Checkr identifies users by their email address, which must be unique. Each Checkr user can belong to only one Checkr account at a time.
    • Users must first authenticate through your IdP before they can access the Checkr Dashboard. Setting up SP-initiated SSO diables direct login to your account.

    Select your identity provider to learn how to enable SSO for Checkr.

  • Feature comparison: Checkr Dashboard, APIs, and Partner Integrations

    Read More

    Checkr provides three ways to use the platform to order background checks for your candidates:

    These three options serve different customers and different use cases. Our recommended option for most new customers is to use the Checkr Dashboard. In some cases, a customized implementation built on our APIs or a Checkr Partner integration with your current applicant tracking system (ATS) might better suit your business needs.

    Available Checkr options:

    Option Description
    Checkr Dashboard
    • Seamless sign-up process.
    • No heavy configuration or development work is required.
    • Multiple pre-configured background check packages available.
    • Hosted candidate sign-up flow.
    Checkr APIs
    • Run high-volume background checks with integrated candidate experience.
    • Receive status updates to your system through webhooks.
    • Manage your branding and user experience.
    • Create candidates and send invitations automatically.
    • Access to the Checkr Dashboard and the Checkr-hosted apply flow.
    Partner Integration
    • Package pricing prenegotiated at a fixed rate.
    • Seamless three-step signup process to connect your Partner and Checkr accounts.
    • Background check process integrates with your existing system of record and workflow.

     

    Checkr Dashboard

    The Checkr Dashboard provides an easy entry to the platform's functionality. Easy-to-follow workflows help customers order reports, manage their candidate pool, initiate adverse action processes, and analyze their team's productivity. We recommend this option for the vast majority of new customers due to its flexibility and ease of use.

    The benefits of using the Dashboard include:

    • Multiple pre-configured background check packages available
    • A hosted candidate signup flow that complies with federal and state laws
    • Shareable invitation links for each available background search package
    • Customizable motor vehicle record rules
    • Option to manually order background checks
    • Integrated analytics dashboards
    • Seamless signup process, no heavy configuration or development work needed

    If you're interested in using this option, contact the Checkr sales team at sales@checkr.com.

    Checkr APIs

    Use Checkr's robust set of APIs integrate the Checkr platform features directly into your applications.  Use our APIs to create and update candidate profiles, order reports, and obtain report and search results. Use our webhooks to receive notifications of all steps in the process. Checkr APIs also support advanced capabilities such as adverse action, identify verification, and ETA.

    If you're interested in using this option, refer to the Checkr API documentation. Contact Checkr Customer Support if you want to develop custom integrations using our API.

    Checkr Reports API

    The Reports API enables customers to create candidates and reports without needing to link to a third-party site. Using the API allows you to manage the branding and user experience for the integration to align with your brand standards and user experiences.

    The benefits of the Reports API include:

    • Receive status updates to an internal system (webhooks).
    • Save time by automatically sending invitations.
    • Run a high volume of background checks with an integrated candidate experience.

    Important: The Checkr Reports API cannot create credit reports, drug or alcohol tests, or international background check reports. These must be ordered through the dashboard or the Invitation API.

    Checkr Invitation API

    The Invitation API allows customers to create candidates and send invitations automatically. This integration balances the simplicity of the Checkr Dashboard and the customization options of a Reports API integration. The Invitation API requires less development work and maintenance than the Reports API while providing the benefit of the Checkr Dashboard and hosted flow.

    Partner integrations

    Checkr partner integrations provide customers the ability to use a single platform for multiple services. Checkr is dedicated to secure, reliable, and seamless integrations with all of our partners. When you use Checkr through a partner integration, you receive:

    • Fixed, prenegotiated rate for background checks
    • Seamless three-step signup process to connect your partner and Checkr accounts
    • System and workflow integration between your background check process and your existing system of record

    To find out if we integrate with a system you use, refer to our current partner integrations. If one of these partner integrations is right for your company, contact our sales team at sales@checkr.com.

  • Manage API keys and webhooks

    Read More

    The "Developer settings" tab of the account settings in the Checkr Dashboard provides access to your account’s API keys and webhooks. API keys enable API access to the Checkr service for customized interfaces. Webhooks provide account-level webhooks to which Checkr-generated events post.

    API and webhook logs appear in the Logs page of the Checkr Dashboard.

    For more information, refer to Webhooks in the Checkr API documentation.

    Manage API keys

    The "API keys" section lists active API keys for the account.

    You can create both secret and publishable keys for your account. Use the secret keys in your staging and production environments. Keep your secret keys confidential, and store them only on your own servers.

    For more information, refer to API keys in the Checkr API documentation.

    Before you can access production keys, Checkr must credential your account for production API access. After credentialing, create and manage your API keys in the Developer settings tab.

    To create a new key, select "Create key."

    For existing keys, you can take two actions:

    • Select the eye to show and hide the password.
    • Select Expire to set an expiration date for the selected key.
    Note

    Never share your API keys via email or other unsecure means.

    Add a new webhook

    Use account webhooks to receive updates for objects created with the API. To get status updates, you must create webhook endpoints and add them in the Checkr Dashboard. Webhook endpoints have a limit of 2. If you try to create more than 2 endpoints in either environment, a "Quota limit exceeded" error appears.

    For more information, refer to Webhooks in the Checkr API documentation.

    The "Configured webhooks" section lists existing webhooks. Use the "New webhook" section to create a new webhook.

    To add a new webhook for your account, use the steps below:

    1. In the "New webhook" section of the "Account settings" page, enter a URL that meets the requirements below:
      • HTTP, HTTPS, and AWS SNS protocols are supported.
      • Use HTTP only for test environment webhooks.
      • HTTP and HTTPS endpoints must be publicly accessible.
      • AWS SNS endpoint must follow the format:
        `sns://<key_id>:<access_key>@<region>/<topic_owner>/<topic_name>`
    2. Select the Live environment.
    3. Select a jurisdiction: US or CA.
    4. Select the "Include related object in payload" checkbox if you want to.
    5. Select Add to create the new webhook.

    To acknowledge receipt of a webhook, your endpoint should return a 2xx HTTP status code. Other information returned in the response header or response body is ignored.

    If a webhook isn't received, Checkr continues trying to send it every minute for 10 minutes, then every hour for 24 hours.

    Monitor webhook logs in the Logs page.

    Note

    These account-level webhooks aren't for existing partner or OAuth integrations. To update webhook URLs for a partner integration, contact Checkr.

    After you create webhooks, you can subscribe to the updates you want.

    For more information about available subscriptions, refer to Webhooks in the Checkr API documentation.

     

  • Manage nodes and brands

    Read More

    Nodes are customizable segments that help you manage your Checkr account. You can use brands to customize candidate messaging by node. If you're an admin user, you manage nodes and brands from the "Account settings" page of the Checkr Dashboard.

    Manage nodes

    After you define nodes, you can assign them to users, packages, and other aspects of your Checkr account. Checkr calls your account’s configuration of nodes a "hierarchy."

    After your account has a hierarchy, you must maintain at least one node. You can edit a single remaining node in your account, but you can't delete it.

    Partner applications allow you to integrate Checkr with your application. For example, you can request background checks through an applicant tracking system (ATS). 

    If your account has partner applications enabled, you can access them by logging in to the Partner Dashboard and going to Management > Applications.

    Create or edit applications

    To create a new partner application, click Add.

    When creating a new application, the OAuth redirect URL allows Checkr to authenticate with your application and authorizes Checkr to use data that you pass to it. Use the URL that you want to send a user to after they authenticate with Checkr.

    Using the OAuth client ID and OAuth client secret, you can generate your own API key to use for your application.

    Read More

    To reset your password:

    1. Navigate to the Checkr Login page.
    2. Click Don't remember your password?
    3. Enter your email to receive a password reset email.

    Your password reset token will be valid for four hours.

    Sometimes password reset emails end up in your email's Spam folder, so be sure to check there if you don't receive an email. If the password reset email doesn't work, then check to see if you received more than one email. Then try using the more recent email to reset your password.

    Note

    If you fail ten password attempts, your account will be locked. To unlock your account, ask an admin on your team to assist you with resetting your password.

    Admin users: For more information about account settings, refer to Manage account settings.
