Overview

Checkr is a background screening platform used to verify candidates before hire. Connected to Ashby, hiring teams can order background checks and view status updates directly from the candidate profile without switching tools. Self-service setup takes a few clicks, with no sign-up fee required to get started.

How to use

1. In Ashby, go to Admin > Assessments, click + New Integration, select Checkr, and click Connect to Checkr. Sign in to an existing Checkr account or create a new one and complete the credentialing process.

2. Once Checkr approves your account and notifies Ashby, the integration is active. Go to a candidate's profile, click + New Activity, select Checkr, choose your background check package, and click Start the Assessment.

3. The status of the background check appears on the candidate's Ashby profile. Most checks complete within 24 hours. Click the completed report to open it in the Checkr dashboard for full results and adjudication.

4. If your organization uses Account Hierarchy (nodes), select the appropriate node when ordering — the available packages will populate automatically based on the node selected.
