A company’s applicant tracking system (ATS) is the primary tool for helping an employer find the right hire. When an ATS is integrated with a background check provider, the process of completing a background check and moving candidates from conditional offer to hire becomes more cost-effective and efficient. Integrating the ATS with the background check provider not only results in a more efficient hire, but improved productivity, better compliance, and well-informed hiring decisions. Seven ways a business can support a successful integration include involving all stakeholders, knowing what processes will benefit from integration, using cloud-based background screening technology, understanding security protocols, knowing how the integration will work, understanding the impact on candidates, and reviewing existing processes periodically.
