Foley Carrier Services is a trusted partner when it comes to compliance, security, and anything that falls under the drug and background screening umbrellas. Foley Carrier Services looks at a candidate's past, present, and future behaviors to paint a more complete picture of a potential candidate and mitigate the risk associated with hiring them.

Greenhouse Recruiting's integration with Foley Carrier Services allows you to invite candidates to complete the background screen directly from the candidate's profile page, and receive the screening results in Greenhouse Recruiting once completed, with updates along the way. With Foley Carrier Services and Greenhouse Recruiting working together, your candidates and hiring team will experience a faster, more efficient screening process while saving time on manual processes and dual entry.

Use Greenhouse Recruiting / Foley Carrier Services Integration

To initiate a background check, navigate to the desired candidate. The candidate must be in the Offer stage to initiate the screen. Once the candidate is in the Offer stage, Foley Carrier Services is auto-notified to generate an invitation link, which is sent to the candidate so they can provide their information for Foley Carrier Services to begin the background check. Once the background check is kicked off, depending on your settings, you will be notified of specific actions related to the report in Greenhouse Recruiting under the candidate's Details tab.

Once results are in, a link will be sent to your Greenhouse Recruiting Dashboard, where you will be able to access the full report.
