To request a background check from a candidate’s profile:

  1. Open the candidate’s profile.

  2. Click the More menu (three dots) near the top-right corner of the screen.

  3. Click Run Background Check.

  4. Choose an option from the Node dropdown (these are set up in your Checkr account).

  5. Choose an option from the Background Checks dropdown.

  6. Select the work location country.

  7. Select the work location state, for US searches.

You can check the status of the background screen and find the results on the Background Checks tab of the candidate’s profile.

Notes:

  • A Checkr international package is required to run checks outside the US. Learn more about international searches and pricing from Checkr.

  • The candidate’s first and last name, email address, and work location are required to run a background check. Special characters in the name fields will prevent the background check from running (e.g., - , / *).
