Once a background check is initiated through Greenhouse, a request to complete the background check will be sent to the candidate’s email. The candidate will complete the required fields and sign-off on the consent.
ESS receives the request and will send an update to Greenhouse that the order is in progress. Once the report is completed in the Deverus platform, a status update is sent to Greenhouse with the results report
