Background Checks Integration (Checkr)

Overview

The Checkr Settings tab in Discovered lets you connect your company’s Checkr account or create a new one. Once connected, you can issue background checks directly from candidate profiles.

This integration ensures a smoother hiring workflow by consolidating background screening into the same system you already use for job postings, candidate evaluations, and communication.
