    Additional Checkr account features and useful help center information for getting started:

     

  • Ascen / Checkr Integration User Guide >

    Welcome to Checkr!

    This guide outlines the Checkr / Ascen integration process and how to order background checks.

    _________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________

    Getting started

    The following items are required to enable the integration:

    • Admin access to Checkr 
    • Admin access to Ascen

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company doesn't yet have a Checkr account, one must be created during the integration process with Ascen. Refer to the “Connect to Checkr” section below on how to begin the Checkr account setup process from within Ascen.

    Once you’ve been directed to a Checkr page during the sign-up process, you can either sign in to an existing account or create a new one.

    To create an account for use with Ascen:

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, select Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to Ascen.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from Ascen. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both Ascen and you to begin ordering background checks through the Ascen platform.

    Connect to Checkr

    1. As an Ascen customer, log in to your Ascen dashboard. 
    2. Within your Ascen dashboard, select your name/menu drop from the left side panel. 
    3. Within the dropdown, select Integrations. 
    4. From the Integrations page, locate Checkr’s tile and select Connect.
    1. Select either Sign-Up or Sign-In. Both options will bring you to the Checkr hosted Sign Up / Sign In flow.
    1. Once you’ve completed your sign-in / sign-up, you will be redirected back to the integrations page within Ascen. The Checkr title will display your connection state between Ascen & Checkr. 
      • The “Manage” button will redirect you to your Checkr dashboard.

    Once your account is credentialed, the "Authorized" flag will be displayed in green:

    Account hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to appear when you order a background check. You can use nodes to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes after you create them. Your Checkr invoice shows which node ordered which package. 

    Each time you order a background check, you select which node to order the check from, and then select from a list of packages available to that node. Invoices show the background checks that each node ordered within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with an account hierarchy and nodes, please follow the steps within “Order Background Checks”. During the ordering process, Ascen asks the user to select the node (if applicable) and preferred package. 

    The list of packages appears based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to order. If no packages appear, you must assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr Dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

  • Ashby / Checkr Integration User Guide >

    Welcome to Checkr!

    This guide will walk you through the Checkr / Ashby integration process, and outline how to use the Checkr dashboard for the background check process. 

    The Checkr Help Center is a great resource for any questions that may not be covered in this user guide. If you have any questions not covered in this guide that are specific to Ashby, please fill out a support request for additional assistance.

    _________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________

    This guide describes how to set up Checkr to use within Ashby, such that Ashby users can initiate and view Checkr background checks from within the Ashby interface. 

    Prerequisites

    The following items are required to initiate Ashby / Checkr integration. Please ensure you have the following before proceeding.

    • Access to Checkr, with admin rights
    • Access to Ashby, with admin rights 
    • For Checkr customers that are simply connecting Ashby to their existing Checkr account, Segmentation is required to utilize this integration. To ensure your account is set up to be compatible, click here to contact our Support.

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created before integration with Ashby.

    1. Log into your Ashby account and navigate to Admin in the top nav bar
    2. Locate and select ‘Assessments’ on the left menu 
    3. Select the ‘+ New Integration’ option and select Checkr as the vendor
      Screen_Shot_2022-01-31_at_11.35.35_AM.png
    4. Click Connect to Checkr when prompted
      2.png

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created before integration with Ashby.

    To create an account for use with Ashby:

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, select Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to Ashby.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from Ashby. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both Ashby and you to begin ordering background checks through the Ashby platform.

    Account Hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to have displayed in the background check ordering workflow. Nodes can be used to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes once they are created, and will then display which node ordered which package on your Checkr invoice. 

    Each time you order a background check, you will be asked which node to order the check from, and then select from a pre-populated list of packages available to that node. Invoices will show the background checks ordered by each node within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with Account Hierarchy and nodes:

    • Fill in the work location of the candidate as you normally would for any background check.
    • Select which Hierarchy node you would like to order from.

    The list of available Packages will automatically generate based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to run. If you do not see any packages populating, you will need to assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr dashboard before proceeding.


    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

    Order Background Checks

    Once your Ashby and Checkr accounts are connected, return to a candidate’s page, and click ‘+ New Activity’.

    5.png

    In the window that opens, select options for the check, and click Start the Assessment.

    6.png

    Once the background check has been ordered, the status of the report will be listed in the Ashby candidate dashboard. Once Complete, click on it to open the report in the Checkr Dashboard, and review details. (For more information on reports and report statuses, see How do I interpret a background report in the Checkr Help Center.)

    Most background checks will be completed within 24 hours, but the time to complete can range from a few minutes to a few weeks, depending on the type of check ordered, the geographic location of the candidate, and/or county courthouse operations. 

    International Packages 

    Checkr defines international background checks as background checks run on candidate’s living and working outside of the United States. 

    Checkr currently offers the following international screenings for candidate’s with work locations outside the United States:

    • International Criminal
    • Adverse Media Search - may be enabled to automatically run if criminal not available
    • Identity Document Verification
    • Global Watchlist
    • Education Verification
    • Employment Verification

    Domestic Package with International Verifications

    If your candidate works in the United States but has out-of-country history, for example attended school internationally, request a package that includes an education verification with out-of-country history enabled. Checkr currently offers an out-of-country history setting that can be added to any domestic criminal search or verification. 

    The option can be applied for candidates who will perform their work inside the US, but who have an address history outside the US. Screening types that can be run on domestic screenings with out-of-country history include: 

    • Education Verification
    • Employment Verification

    3. In Marketplace, locate the Checkr-specific tile.
    4. Select “Setup Integration.”
    5. In the pop-up that appears, select either “Sign in with an existing Checkr account” or “Create a new Checkr Account.”



    6. Complete the sign-in or sign-up process (whichever applies to your situation). 
    7. Once complete, a message will appear verifying the process is complete. You can now close out of the pop-up. You will land back on the Marketplace.
      • If you’ve chosen to sign up for a new Checkr account, Checkr will need to credential your business before you can begin running background checks. As noted in the pop-up, this can take 24-48 hours.
      • If you’ve chosen to sign in to an existing account, you can begin running background checks immediately.

    Account hierarchy

    The integration allows you to set up different "nodes" inside their Checkr account to appear when you order a background check. You can use nodes to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes after you create them. Your Checkr invoice shows which node ordered which package. 

    Each time you order a background check, you select a node to order from. Then, you choose from a list of packages available to that node. Invoices show the background checks each node ordered within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with an account hierarchy and nodes, please follow the steps within “Order Background Checks.” During the ordering process, Avenue Expand asks the user to select their preferred node/package for ordering.

    The list of packages appears based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to order. If no packages appear, you must assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr Dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on account hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, refer to the following Help Center articles: Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings.

    Order background checks

    Once your Avenue Expand and Checkr accounts have been connected, you can begin running background checks by following these steps:

    1. Login to Avenue Expand. 
    2. Select the candidate you would like to run a background check for.
    3. From the candidate’s profile, select Checkr from the top navigation bar. 
    4. Select “Quick actions.” 
    5. From the dropdown, select “Start a background check.



    6. In the "Invite Candidate" window that appears, populate the necessary fields. 
    7. Click "Submit." 



    8. Upon submission, the pop-up will show "Invitation Sent," confirming the candidate was invited to the background check. 
    9. Close the pop-up window. 

    You will land back on the candidate's profile page, where you can review all of the background check information for this specific candidate. 

    Review background checks

    Once your Avenue Expand and Checkr accounts have been connected, you can run background checks by following these steps:

    1. Select the candidate. 
    2. From the candidate's profile, select Checkr from the top navigation bar. 

    Here you can review all of the background checks run on this specific candidate. Each background check will have its own tile, reflecting the invitation or report status, and a link to view the report in the Checkr Dashboard. 

    For more information on reports and report statuses, refer to How do I interpret a background report?

    Checkr's candidate experience

    Checkr's candidate experience overview describes the candidate's experience of the background check process. It provides information to answer common questions and resolve common issues.

    Resubmit a background check

    Avenue Expand allows users to try to submit a background check again in case it fails. Please follow the steps under “Order Background Checks” to resubmit a background check for your crew member.

    Use the Checkr Dashboard

    While the integration allows users to order background checks and find their status, the following features are available only within Checkr:

    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both BreezyHR and you to begin ordering background checks through the BreezyHR platform.

    Account Hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to have displayed in the background check ordering workflow. Nodes can be used to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes once they are created, and will then display which node ordered which package on your Checkr invoice. 

    Each time you order a background check, you will be asked which node to order the check from, and then select from a pre-populated list of packages available to that node. Invoices will show the background checks ordered by each node within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with Account Hierarchy and nodes:

    • Fill in the work location of the candidate as you normally would for any background check.
    • Select which Hierarchy node you would like to order from.

    The list of available Packages will automatically generate based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to run. If you do not see any packages populating, you will need to assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

  • Bullhorn / Checkr Integration User Guide >

    Welcome to Checkr!

    Once you have successfully signed up and on-boarded with Checkr, the integration process can begin! This guide describes the requirements and steps necessary to get your Bullhorn instance up and running using Checkr.

    If you have any questions not covered in this guide that are specific to Bullhorn, please email support@bullhorn.com for additional assistance.  If you have questions that are Checkr-related, please contact your Customer Success Manager.

    _________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________

    Getting started with Checkr on Bullhorn

    This guide describes how to integrate Checkr with Bullhorn, such that Bullhorn users can request and view Checkr background checks from within the Bullhorn interface.

    The following items are required to initiate Bullhorn / Checkr integration:

    From Bullhorn:

    1. A REST-enabled Bullhorn instance. This can be confirmed by Bullhorn support.
    2. Your Bullhorn Corporate ID. This is typically a few-digit number like “12345”. (It is not the same as Client ID, which is a long string with numbers, dashes, and letters.)
    3. A Bullhorn username and password for Checkr to use for API integration. The minimum credentials needed for this account are to View/Edit Candidate Information.  
    4. A Bullhorn account with admin rights so you can configure the Checkr integration for your users.

    From Checkr:

    1. Access to Checkr dashboard, with admin rights.
    2. An authentication token, which Checkr will provide to you after you have confirmed your Bullhorn instance is REST-enabled, and have provided Checkr with your Bullhorn Corporate ID and username/password information for the API account.  

    From you:

    1. Your desired integration workflow (Invitation vs Manual).  

    Enable Your Bullhorn Integration with Checkr

    Please work with your Bullhorn contact to have their Technical Support Team submit a ticket to Checkr Customer Support to get your integration up and running.

    Your Bullhorn contact will also ask you to choose between the Invitation Workflow or the Manual Workflow. These workflows are described below:

    Manual Workflow

    • Report Type: Criminal, or Criminal + MVR Note: When packages are selected requiring more than a MVR or Criminal Check + MVR, Checkr will present the Invitation flow rather than the Manual flow.
    • Description: Recruiter uses the fields provided by Checkr to enter candidate Personally Identifiable Information (PII) required to initiate the background check. The candidate is not contacted by Checkr for this information.
    • Disclosures and Consent: Certified by recruiter with a checkbox when ordering the report.
    • Background Check Begins: Immediately.

    Invitation Workflow

    • Report Type: Any.
    • Description: Checkr emails the candidate directly to collect required PII, distribute disclosures, and gather consent to run the background check.
    • Disclosures and Consent: Gathered from candidate through the candidate’s invitation responses.
    • Background Check Begins: After candidate successfully responds to invitation with requested information.

    Within two business days of having received your preferred workflow (Invitation or Manual), Checkr will activate your integration with the desired behavior.  

    Add Checkr tab to Candidate view layout

    From within the client’s Bullhorn installation, select Admin > View Layout.

    • Select Private Label: Checkr Inc
    • Select Field Map Entity: Candidate
    • Click Custom tabs > Add New, and enter:
      • Name: Checkr
      • Enabled: Select
      • URL: https://integrations.checkr.com/partners/bullhorn.html?token=<authentication_token_provided_by_Checkr>

    As described above, this authentication token will be provided upon confirmation that your Bullhorn instance is REST-enabled, and receipt of your Bullhorn Corporate ID and username/password information for the API account.  

      • Partner Name: Checkr
      • User Types: Select appropriate user types
    • Click Save to save changes and create the Checkr tab.

    BullhornCustomTab.png

    Request background checks

    Checkr allows you to request background checks from within Bullhorn for individual candidates. To initiate a background check, at minimum, a candidate’s first name, last name, and email must be populated in Bullhorn. To complete the background check, you will also be required to provide additional candidate information, including their Middle Name, Zipcode, Date of Birth, and Social Security Number. You will also be required to confirm that the candidate has consented to the background check, and has received and reviewed any necessary legal disclosures.

    (If you prefer video learning, log into Checkr's Learning Center to watch a short video.)

    Checkr provides two means to capture this required information:

    • Invitation: In this workflow, Checkr will email the candidate a secure link to acknowledge disclosures and to provide consent, as well as any additional required information to run the background check. In the form sent to the candidate, the following fields will be pre-populated with any information that exists in Bullhorn: First Name, Last Name, Email, Middle Name, Zipcode, Date of Birth, and Social Security Number.  
    • Manual: In this workflow, you (the Bullhorn user) manually provide the information required to initiate a background check. This information includes the candidate’s Middle Name, Zipcode, Date of Birth, and Social Security Number. You must also confirm that the required forms and disclosures have been reviewed by the candidate, and that they have provided their consent for the background check to be run.  

    The manual entry workflow supports both criminal-based background checks and packages that contain background checks and a motor vehicle report (MVR). This workflow reduces the turnaround time required for a report by eliminating the time required for the candidate to review and complete the invitation. If Manual workflow is enabled, but a report requiring more information than a criminal background check is selected, you will be notified that the Invitation flow will automatically be used for that report.

    NOTE: The option used by your organization will be chosen by your administrator and configured by Checkr.

    Individual background checks

    To initiate a background check for a candidate, select Menu > Candidates to open the Candidates list page.

    BullhornMultipleCheck.png

    Click the name of the candidate for whom a background check should be initiated to open their profile page, then click the Checkr tab.

    Select the required Geo, Program, and Package to initiate the background check. Checkr will list the screenings included in the Package, and request confirmation to proceed.

    If the Manual flow is enabled and a supported package is selected, fill in any additional required fields and click Order Report.

    NOTE: While Middle Name is not a required field in Bullhorn, it is required for an accurate background check. Please click the “No Middle Name” checkbox only for candidates that do not have a middle name.

    If Invitation flow is enabled or  an unsupported package is selected, click Send Invitation.  

    BullhornOrderReport.png

    Once complete, Bullhorn will display the results of the background check in the candidate’s Checkr tab.

    BullhornReportPending.png

    View results

    Completed reports may be viewed both within Bullhorn, and from the Checkr dashboard. To view reports within Bullhorn, go to the candidate’s profile, and click the Checkr tab. Bullhorn will display a list of reports ordered for the candidate, and their status.

    For more information on the status listed, please see What does the status of the report indicate? in the Checkr Help Center.

    • Admin-level access to Checkr
    • Admin-level access to CareSmartz360

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created during the integration process with CareSmartz360. Refer to the “Connect to Checkr” section below to begin the Checkr account setup process from within CareSmartz360.

    To create an account for use with CareSmartz360:

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, select Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to CareSmartz360.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from CareSmartz360. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both CareSmartz360 and you to begin ordering background checks through the CareSmartz360 platform.

    Connect to Checkr

    1. Log into your CareSmartz360 account.
    2. In the Admin Settings navigation pane on the left side of the screen, select "Configuration." 
    3. Select "Background Verification." This will open the Checkr Settings page.





    4. Select "Sign Up & Sign In." This will redirect you to the Checkr sign-up / sign-in page.
    5. Complete the Checkr-hosted sign-up or sign-in process.
    6. Once you've completed the flow, you'll see a confirmation message. You may close this window.



    7. Upon closing the window, you'll be redirected back to the Checkr Settings page in CareSmarts360.
    8. Select "Refresh."



    If you signed up for a new Checkr account, you will see that your account is connected but not authorized. The credentialing process can take 24-48 hours. Once credentialing is complete, you will be notified. 

    If you signed into an existing Checkr account, you will see that your account is both connected and authorized.

     

    Order background checks

    Once your Caresmartz360 and Checkr accounts have been connected and credentialed, you can order background checks. 

    1. Open the Caregiver Details profile for the caregiver whom you wish to run a background check.



    2. Select the "Background Check" tab.



    3. Select "Order Background check."
    4. Complete the "Invite Candidate" form by selecting your preferred node (if applicable), package, email, and phone number. 



    5. When complete, click "Submit."

    To confirm the invitation was sent, check the caregiver's Report History page. If the report was successfully ordered, you will see a new background check tile with the status "Invitation sent." Use the Report History page to monitor the status of the background check. 

    Review background checks

    1. Open the Caregiver Details profile for the caregiver whose background check you wish to review.



    2. Select the "Background Check" tab.

    Here you can view the caregiver's Report History, which details all background checks run on the caregiver. 

    Once the report status changes to Complete, select the timestamp hyperlink to be redirected to your Checkr Dashboard, where you can review the full details of the report.

    For more information on reports and report statuses, refer to How do I interpret a background report?

    Checkr's account hierarchy

    The integration allows you to set up different "nodes" inside their Checkr account to appear when you order a background check. You can use nodes to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes after you create them. Your Checkr invoice shows which node ordered which package. 

    Each time you order a background check, you select a node to order from. Then, you choose from a list of packages available to that node. Invoices show the background checks each node ordered within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with an account hierarchy and nodes, please follow the steps within “Order Background Checks.” During the ordering process, CareSmartz360 asks the user to select their preferred node/package for ordering.

    The list of packages appears based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to order. If no packages appear, you must assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr Dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on account hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, refer to the following Help Center articles: Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings.

    Checkr's candidate experience

    Checkr's candidate experience overview describes the candidate's experience with the background check process. It provides information to answer common questions and resolve common issues.

    The following items are required to initiate Ceipal / Checkr integration. Please ensure you have the following before proceeding.

    • Access to Ceipal, with admin rights 
    • Access to Checkr, with admin rights

    Add Checkr to Ceipal

    First, enable Checkr from within Ceipal. You must have admin access to both Checkr and Ceipal to complete this process. 

    Enable Checkr setup

    To initiate the Checkr integration, go to your Ceipal home page. 

    1. From the Ceipal home page, click on the user icon on the top right-hand corner.Ceipal1.png
    2. Within the menu dropdown, click “View Profile”.                                                                              Ceipal2.png
    3. Within the user profile, select “User Preferences”. Ceipal3.png
    4. Within user preferences, scroll down to the “Checkr BGV” option. Ceipal4.png
    5. While viewing “Checkr BGV”, you can select the blue arrow icon to authorize and enable your connection with Checkr.                                                                                                                                                   Ceipal5.png

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created before integration with Ceipal.

    To create an account for use with Ceipal:

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, select Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to Ceipal.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from Ceipal. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both Ceipal and you to begin ordering background checks through the Ceipal platform.Ceipal7.png

    Account Hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to have displayed in the background check ordering workflow. Nodes can be used to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes once they are created, and will then display which node ordered which package on your Checkr invoice. 

    Each time you order a background check, you will be asked which node to order the check from, and then select from a pre-populated list of packages available to that node. Invoices will show the background checks ordered by each node within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with Account Hierarchy and nodes:

    • Fill in the work location of the candidate as you normally would for any background check.
    • Select which Hierarchy node you would like to order from.

    The list of available Packages will automatically generate based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to run. If you do not see any packages populating, you will need to assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

    Order Background Checks

    1. From the top menu bar within the Ceipal application, navigate to the Applicants tab. 
      1. The Applicants tab shows all of the applicants and the jobs they have applied for. 
    2. By clicking into an applicant and then section Submission Record, you will be brought to the applicant’s job submission. 
    3. On the submission page, the top menu bar will have an array of options. By Selecting the icon highlighted in the image below, you will be able to select Initiate Background Check.Ceipal8.png
    4. Once selected, you will next select “Initiate Checkr Background Check” from the dropdown.Ceipal9.png
    5. A window will light-frame titled “Checkr Background Screening” Ceipal10.png
    6. Within the window, please fill out the applicable candidate information. 
    7. Once the information is complete, you will select “Initiate” to initiate the background check order for the candidate.  
    8. If initiated successfully, you will see a window popup with the message “Candidate initiated for background verification through Checkr Background Screening”. 

    Monitoring Background Checks

    1. To review and monitor an applicant’s background check status, you can either navigate to the Applicants Tab or the Job Posting Tab and click on both the applicant and their specific job submission. 
    2. Within an applicant’s submission overview, you can select “Background Checks” from the top menu bar. 
    3. Here the applicant will have a “Background Check Results” section which will reflect the Background Check Requested, Processing Status, Result, Last Updated, ETA as well as a link to the Checkr dashboard to review the report within Checkr. Ceipal12.png
    4. Please note, “Background Check Results” can show multiple background checks requested for the applicant. 
    5. Underneath “Background Check Results”, the user will see an “Activities” section, which details the recent activity log for the requested BGC. 

    For monitoring purposes, Ceipal also offers a Background check status consolidated report where the user can see the status of all the orders in a single place and can open the report of the respective order from the screen below. 

    Ceipal13.png

    Once Complete, click on it to open the report in the Checkr Dashboard, and review details. (For more information on reports and report statuses, see How do I interpret a background report in the Checkr Help Center.)

    Most background checks will be completed within 24 hours, but the time to complete can range from a few minutes to a few weeks, depending on the type of check ordered, the geographic location of the candidate, and/or county courthouse operations.

    _________________________________________________________

    Prerequisites

    The following items are required to initiate Crelate / Checkr integration. Please ensure you have the following before proceeding.

    • Access to Crelate, with admin rights 

    Add Checkr to Crelate

    First, enable Checkr from within Crelate. You must have admin access to both Checkr and Crelate to complete this process. 

    Enable Checkr setup

    To initiate integration, go to account settings and then integrations: 

    CrelateEnable1.png

    Select Start Background Check and Sign In to your Checkr account.

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created before integration with Crelate.

    To create an account for use with Crelate:

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, select Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to Crelate.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from Crelate. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both Crelate and you to begin ordering background checks through the Crelate platform.

    Account Hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to have displayed in the background check ordering workflow. Nodes can be used to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes once they are created, and will then display which node ordered which package on your Checkr invoice. 

    Each time you order a background check, you will be asked which node to order the check from, and then select from a pre-populated list of packages available to that node. Invoices will show the background checks ordered by each node within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with Account Hierarchy and nodes:

    • Fill in the work location of the candidate as you normally would for any background check.
    • Select which Hierarchy node you would like to order from.

    The list of available Packages will automatically generate based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to run. If you do not see any packages populating, you will need to assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

    Order Background Checks

    Once your Crelate and Checkr accounts are connected, return to a candidate’s page, and click Start Background Check.

    In the window that opens, select options for the check, and click Start Background Check.

    Crelate5.png

    Crelate6.png

    Once the background check has been ordered, the status of the report will be listed in the Crelate candidate summary details. Once Complete, click on it to open the report in the Checkr Dashboard, and review details. 

    Crelate7.png

    Crelate.pngCrelate9.png

    (For more information on reports and report statuses, see How do I interpret a background report in the Checkr Help Center.)

    Most background checks will be completed within 24 hours, but the time to complete can range from a few minutes to a few weeks, depending on the type of check ordered, the geographic location of the candidate, and/or county courthouse operations. 

    Checkr Features

    Use the Checkr Dashboard

    While the integration allows users to order background checks and view their status, the following features are available only within Checkr: 

    Checkr’s Candidate Experience

      7. Once you’ve selected your package, click the green “Add New Check” button at the bottom of the screen.

    Gif_2.gif

    You may change Account Hierarchy (the Node section) in your Checkr account so it is also automatically updated on Credentially.

    Important Note: A standard package contains the list of the default screenings; however, you can request a bespoke package in your Checkr account by contacting our customer support team. 

    1. Staff Members Completing Background Checks 
      1. Once an Administrator has assigned a check to a Staff Member, Staff Member will receive a Checkr notification to complete a background check.
    2. To do so, they need to go to "My profile" -> "Background Checks" - > "Start Check":
    3. The Staff Member will need to click "complete invitation", and will be directed to Checkr's website. Here they will need to provide consent to run the requested checks and an electronic signature.

    International Packages

    Checkr defines international background checks as background checks run on candidates living and working outside of the United States. 

    Checkr currently offers the following international screenings for candidates with work locations outside the United States:

    • International Criminal
    • Adverse Media Search - may be enabled to automatically run if criminal is not available
    • Identity Document Verification
    • Global Watchlist
    • Education Verification
    • Employment Verification

    Domestic Package with International Verifications

    If your candidate works in the United States but has out-of-country history, for example, attended school internationally, request a package that includes an education verification with out-of-country history enabled. Checkr currently offers an out-of-country history setting that can be added to any domestic criminal search or verification. 

    The option can be applied for candidates who will perform their work inside the US but who have an address history outside the US. Screening types that can be run on domestic screenings with out-of-country history include: 

    • Education Verification
    • Employment Verification

    Reviewing Background Checks

    (For Administrators)

    Administrators will be notified that a Staff Member has completed the Checkr Background Check Invitation once the Staff Member has finalized the submission process for the required information. 

    • Once the background check has been ordered, the status of the report will be listed in the ‘Background Checks’ area of a Staff Member’s profile. 
    • Credentially will automatically display any status updates received from Checkr right on the same ‘Background Checks’ area and within the report details
    • Once Complete, click on ‘Report Details’ to open the report in the Checkr Dashboard for review. (For more information on reports and report statuses, see How do I interpret a background report in the Checkr Help Center.)

    Most background checks will be completed within 24 hours, but the time to complete can range from a few minutes to a few weeks, depending on the type of check ordered, the geographic location of the candidate, and/or county courthouse operations. Credentially will automatically reflect all status updates received from Checkr in the ‘Background Checks’ area in the left-hand navigation.

    Background Check Statuses

     The statuses displayed for Administrators:

    Not Started: A Checkr check has been assigned to a Staff Member by an Administrator, but it hasn’t been started by the Staff Member.

    Started: A Checkr check has been started by the Staff Member.

    Pending:  It could indicate one of the below statuses:

    • The Staff Member has completed the invitation, and the report is now in progress
    • The report has been completed with a “consider” result (the adjudication process hasn’t been started)
    • The report has been completed with a “consider” result (the adjudication process has been started but hasn’t been completed)

    Clear:  It could indicate one of the below statuses:

    • The report has been completed with no issues found
    • The report has been completed with some issues found and an Administrator has decided to engage the Staff Member during the adjudication process

    Not Eligible: Indicates the report has been completed with some issues found and an Administrator has decided NOT to engage the Staff Member during the adjudication process.

    Suspended: It indicates the report has been suspended after an exception occurred (e.g., their entered SSN or Driver's License was returned as invalid), and the Staff Member either did not resolve this within the 7-day window OR they entered another invalid value upon updating their data.

    Canceled: It could indicate one of the below statuses:

    • The invitation has been deleted (canceled) before the Staff Member completed it
    • The report has been canceled after it was started

    Expired: The invitation expired before the Staff Member completed it.

    Background Check Info Credentially Displays for Administrators

    On the Credentially system default, Administrators and administrative roles with "Background checks" permissions have access to:

    • Staff Member's check status
    • Created at (time)
    • Completed at (time) 
    • Last updated (time)
    • Included Screenings 
    • Check History

    Order Background Checks

    Once your DocQ and Checkr accounts are connected, you will need to create a workflow in order to use it. The steps outlined in this document are an example of a typical use case in which candidates are routed based on various scenarios of a background check result.

    Creating a Workflow and Document Template

    From the DocQ homepage, click Workflows'' > “Add Workflow”. 

    Q1.png

    Click on the Settings tab on the right side of the screen, enter Checkr - Default” in the name and then click Save”.

    How to integrate Checkr with Domino's instance of SmartRecruiters

    Domino’s franchises that want to use Checkr in the SmartRecruiters platform should use this link to sign up for a Checkr account or sign in to an existing Checkr account. 

    Next, you will be prompted to enter the FCODE or the Business Unit Name found within the Domino's instance of SmartRecruiters.

    How to find the FCODE/Business Unit Name:

      1. Login to SmartRecruiters 
      2. Navigate to any job.
      3. Select the ‘Job Details’ tab.
      4. Scroll down to the ‘Job Fields’ section.

  • Drata / Checkr Integration User Guide >

    Welcome to Checkr!

    This guide will walk you through the Checkr / Drata integration process, and outline how to use the Checkr dashboard for the background check process. 

    The Checkr Help Center is a great resource for any questions that may not be covered in this user guide. If you have any questions not covered in this guide that are specific to Drata, please fill out a support request for additional assistance.

    _________________________________________________________

    _________________________________________________________

    Prerequisites

    The following items are required to initiate Drata / Checkr integration. Please ensure you have the following before proceeding.

    • Admin access to Checkr and Drata

    Connect to Checkr

    1. Click on your company's name in the lower left corner.
    2. Click Connections from that menu.Drata_1_.jpeg
    3. Click the Connect button for the Checkr integration.Drata_2.jpeg
    4. A drawer will extend from the right side of the screen providing details on making the connection.                                     Drata_3.png
    5. If you have a Checkr account, Sign In.
    6. If Account Hierarchy is enabled, step two of this connection will ask you to select a Node that has been set up in your Checkr account.
    7. After a Node has been selected (or no nodes were present), you will then be able to select which package will be used by any candidates initiating background checks from within Drata.Drata_5.png
    8. After the connection has been made, it’s important to determine whether you would like to enable ordering through the Drata platform. NOTE: Drata’s product aims to remove admin bottlenecks and instead allows employees to initiate background checks on themselves. If you would like to restrict employees from being able to initiate background checks on themselves, please follow Step #9 below
    9. If you do not want employees to have any view in their 'My Drata' onboarding related to background checks, instead choose the option "We use a different background check solution and will upload manually per employee on the Personnel page". This will hide the "Background Check" section for your employees.
    10. Click the Update button to configure the changes. Drata_6.png

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created before integration with Drata.

    To create an account for use with Drata:

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, select Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to Drata.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from Drata. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both Drata and you to begin ordering background checks through the Drata platform.

    Account Hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to have displayed in the background check ordering workflow. Nodes can be used to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes once they are created, and will then display which node ordered which package on your Checkr invoice. 

    Each time you order a background check, you will be asked which node to order the check from, and then select from a pre-populated list of packages available to that node. Invoices will show the background checks ordered by each node within 2 billing cycles after setup. 

    To order a background check with Account Hierarchy and nodes:

    • Fill in the work location of the candidate as you normally would for any background check.
    • Select which Hierarchy node you would like to order from.

    The list of available Packages will automatically generate based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to run. If you do not see any packages populating, you will need to assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

    Order Background Checks

    Background checks in Drata are ordered by the candidate (employee) themselves initiating the process during an onboarding flow. Refer above (Step 8) for important info to determine how to disable employee ordering.

    1. User will go to their “My Drata” Screen, and scroll down to “Background Checks”, expanding the accordion. 
    2. From here, users will enter their City and State and click “Start My Background Check”. Drata_7.png
    3. This will kick off the Checkr-hosted background check flow, and the candidate should receive an email to finish the process within Checkr. 

    Monitor Background Checks

    There are two places where a Drata administrator can monitor a background check’s complete state. 

    First Place: 

    1. Navigate to the Drata “Connections” menu
    2. Find your connected “Checkr” tile
    3. Click “Manage Background Checks”.
    4. This will display all background checks detected by Drata that originate in Checkr. Drata_9.png

    Second Place: 

    1. Navigate to the “Personnel'' section of Drata. 
    2. Sort all users by the “Background Check” column. 
    3. Candidates who have fully completed background check reports will display with a green checkmark, and everyone else will be red X’sDrata_10.png

    Note: Drata only cares about candidates having a completed check, and does not allow admin users to see any other detailed information for a check. To view additional information related to the background check, you can navigate to the Checkr dashboard. 

    Most background checks will be completed within 24 hours, but the time to complete can range from a few minutes to a few weeks, depending on the type of check ordered, the geographic location of the candidate, and/or county courthouse operations.

          • Use Case: The System ID is used to identify which system is making the requests and helps in organizing and managing different integrations or environments.
        • Stage:
          • Description: This field allows you to specify the stages at which the Checkr app should trigger. It accepts a comma-separated list of stages.
          • Example Value: Reference Check
          • Use Case: This setting is used to define specific stages in your workflow (e.g., during hiring) when the Checkr integration should be triggered, such as when a reference check is required.
        • Fetch Report Delay (secs):
          • Description: This optional field allows you to set a delay in seconds before the fetch report trigger is called. This delay can be used to control the timing of when the Checkr report is fetched after a trigger event.
          • Example Value: 604800 (equivalent to 7 days)
          • Use Case: This setting is useful if you want to introduce a buffer time before Checkr fetches the report, which could be necessary in certain workflow setups.
    2. Once Checkr’s settings are saved and installed, you will re-open the “Settings” window, locate the “Authentication / Authorization” section, and select “OAuth Sign In”. 

    1. Once selected, this will launch the Checkr-hosted sign-in / sign-up process. Please complete the Checkr workflow. If you have a Checkr account, you will opt to sign in. If you need a new Checkr account, you will need to follow the sign-up steps. 
    2. Once completed, you will be redirected back to Eightfold. 

    Option 2: 

    1. Log in to your Eightfold account. 
    2. The Checkr app will be available in the Eightfold Marketplace: https://app.eightfold.ai/app_marketplace/ 
    3. From the marketplace, please login with your account credentials and you will be able to install the app through this portal.

    Create a Checkr account

    If your company does not yet have a Checkr account, one must be created during the integration process with Eightfold. Refer to the Connect to Checkr section for how to begin the Checkr account setup process from within Eightfold.

    Partner Support with Pay.gif

    1. If you are already a Checkr customer, Sign In to connect your current Checkr account to Eightfold.
    2. If you are not a current Checkr customer, fill out the required fields, and select Get Started to create a Checkr account and add your company information.
    3. After providing your company information, enter payment information. Invoices for background checks will come directly from Checkr, not from Eightfold. (Payment information may be edited on the Checkr dashboard after the account has been created.)
    4. Once complete, select Submit and your account will be sent to Checkr for review. Once the credentialing process is complete, Checkr will notify both Eightfold and you to begin ordering background checks through the Eightfold platform.

    Account hierarchy

    The integration allows users to set up different "nodes" inside of their Checkr account to appear when they order a background check. You can use nodes to designate different locations, teams, or groups that order background checks within your organization. Checkr requires you to assign packages to nodes after you create them. Your Checkr invoice shows which node ordered which package.
    Each time you order a background check, you select which node to order the check from, and then select from a list of packages available to that node. Invoices show the background checks that each node ordered within 2 billing cycles after setup.
    To order a background check with an account hierarchy and nodes, please follow the steps within Order Background Checks. During the ordering process, Eightfold asks the user to select their preferred node (if applicable) and package for ordering.
    The list of packages appear based on the node you select. Select the background check package you want to order. If no packages appear, you must assign the appropriate packages to that node in your Checkr Dashboard before proceeding.

    For more information on Account Hierarchy, nodes, and how to configure your account, see Checkr's Payment & Billing, Adverse Actions, and Manage Account Settings Help Articles.

      • After an invite is created, a field for “Invitation Sent” will appear. Additionally, you will see “Invitation Completion By”, letting you know the ETA for report completion.
      • After a report is created, the background check status is shown.
      • After the report is completed, a new field called "view report" will appear. This is a report URL to Checkr where you may view the full background check report.

        For more information on reports and report statuses, refer to How do I interpret a background report

    Resubmit a background check
