Open the interview plan (Jobs > select job > Job Setup > Interview Plan).
Click Add Stage in the top right corner of the page.
Select Background Check and click Add.
Note: If you're using a Secondary Background Check, you can repeat this process with the Intellicorp stage. If the stage doesn't exist, you can create it.
Click and drag the Background Check stage to the right location in your interview plan.
(Optional) Complete setup for secondary background screenings
Secondary Background Screenings are an optional part of the integration that allows users to order more packages beyond the single one configured on each job.
To integrate secondary background screenings with Greenhouse Recruiting, complete the following steps:
Contact your Intellicorp representative (support@intellicorp.net) to request your API key. Once you have received your API key, click here to open a ticket with Greenhouse Technical Support.
Note: Do not send the API key in this initial email. Wait until the Greenhouse Technical Support team provides a secure messaging link to send the API key.
Send your API Key to Greenhouse Technical Support using a SendSafely link. Once sent, Greenhouse Technical Support will be notified of your response. Once the setup is complete, you'll receive an email confirmation from Greenhouse Technical Support.
Note: To verify your identity, Greenhouse Technical Support might request you provide a Support Verification Code before adding the API key to your organization's account.
Initiate background screening
During the interview process, when the candidate is moved to the Background Check stage, the candidate receives an email from IntelliCorp to complete their IntelliCorp profile for screening. This email includes consent and authorization steps.
Once the candidate completes their IntelliCorp profile, IntelliCorp automatically updates the custom fields in Greenhouse Recruiting like Status, Results, and Last Update. You can see this information on the Details tab of the candidate's profile.
(Optional) Initiate secondary background screenings
When your organization is set up for a secondary background screening and a candidate is moved to the Secondary Background Check stage, the Status and Search Results will appear in the candidate’s Results field. You can click Send Text to start a secondary background check.
Once you started the check, you can choose the specific package from the Test dropdown menu.
