The Choice Screening integration allows you to seamlessly and automatically take newly-hired candidates from Greenhouse and submit them for background screening into Choice Screening.

Integrating Choice Screening with your Greenhouse implementation is very straight forward. Choice Screening will provide some required information, and conversely specific information about your Greenhouse implementation will be shared with Choice Screening.

To get started, contact your Choice Screening salesperson or customer support. They will provide an endpoint URL and a secret key.

example endpoint: https://csapi.choicescreening.com/greenhouse/webhook/examplegreenhousecustomer

example secret key:

9e4d7aef-6d0c-49ea-ae04-614930567dc1)

Once you have received both of those items, there are four parts to an integration between Greenhouse and Choice Screening

That's it! Your Greenhouse account and Choice Screening account are now integrated! 

Once your Greenhouse implementation is integrated with Choice Screening, when you initiate a background screen on a candidate, Greenhouse will automatically send to Choice Screening the candidate’s name and email address information as well as what background screening package that was selected to be run.

Choice Screening will then send a background screening consent email to the candidate, and pre-populate the information provided for the candidate. Once the candidate has consented to the background screen, the package selected will automatically be run.

Once the package that was ordered is complete, that activity is noted in the candidate activity feed, and you can see the full details of that report in the Choice Screening portal.
