Use the Background Check Action for Job Applications

You can configure the candidate selection process so that a background check is initiated when a job application reaches a specific state in the candidate selection process.

Background checks are run on candidates as part of their candidate selection process to ensure their background is verified before hiring them.

Before you start

The background check partner must be enabled.

Here's what to do

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
   • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
   • Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
   • Task: Candidate Selection Process Configuration
2. On the Candidate Selection Process Configuration page, click a process.
3. Click a phase.
4. Add the Initiate Background Check action at the state level.
   The action is triggered when job applications are moved to the specified state.
5. You can define conditions for the action to be executed. You can use predefined conditions, fast formulas used as conditions, or a combination of both.
6. Click Save and Close.
