You can add a Background Check section to your form for candidates to complete as a part of their hiring process. 

Use cases

• Teams who want candidates to complete a background check through a third party provider before they are hired.

Configuration

Your background check provider can be added on the backend from the Forms & Offers section of Client Setup. Click here for more information. 

Background Check section

Your background check can exist in two different places in the CEM, which also affect the way a candidate interacts with it. These are through:

• Forms
• Candidate Journeys

For background checks that exist within a form, the user can add the Background Check section to a form by following the steps below. 

1. Select All Apps in the top left corner of the header and then Settings from its drop-down menu.
2. When the Settings page opens, select Forms under the Jobs section.
3. Open the preferred form or create a new form.
4. Click Add Section.
5. Select the Background Check section.
6. A text box will display. Enter in the display text that candidates will see alongside their background check  and its instructions.
7. Click Save.
8. Publish the form.

Candidate experience

When the candidate reaches the Background Check section in their form, the display text will be presented to the candidate along with the background check link. The candidate will need to click Get Started, which will cause the background check provider's integration to be displayed in an iFrame.

• Note: If the background check provider integration is a link to a new tab, the iFrame will not show.
