How do I perform a background check?

When you integrate with one of Workable's background check providers, the option to run a check will appear on candidate profiles.

To initiate a background check on a candidate:

1. For candidates in the Offer and Hired stage, a new button (magnifying glass ) will appear in the toolbar or under the 'More actions' menu (depending on your screen size). For all other stages, the option can be found under the 'More actions' menu .
      
2. Choose a background check package from your background check provider, and the provider will handle the rest, contacting the candidate with information and instructions to complete the check.
   
3. Once the results come in, you will be notified immediately. The results (or a link to the results) will appear in Workable on the candidate's timeline tab and the 'Review > Background checks' tab.
