If you are looking for a no-code solution to perform background checks using Checkr without integrating with other services, here's a straightforward guide:

Checkr No-Code Setup and Usage

  1. Sign Up for Checkr:

    • Visit Checkr's website and sign up for an account.
    • Follow the prompts to complete your account setup, including any necessary business verification steps.
  2. Select Your Background Check Package:

    • Log in to your Checkr account and navigate to the "Background Checks" section.
    • Choose the type of background check package that suits your needs (Basic, Standard, Premium, etc.).
  3. Add Candidates:

    • Manually enter candidate information directly into Checkr's platform. You will need details like name, email address, and other pertinent information required for the background check.
    • Alternatively, you can upload a CSV file with candidate information if you have multiple candidates to check.
  4. Initiate Background Checks:

    • After adding candidates, initiate the background check process by selecting the appropriate candidates and the desired check package.
    • Checkr will send an email to the candidate to complete the necessary forms and consent.
  5. Track Progress:

    • Monitor the status of each background check directly in your Checkr dashboard. You will see updates as the background check progresses through various stages.
    • You will be notified when the background check is complete.
  6. Review Results:

    • Once the background check is completed, you can view detailed reports within your Checkr account.
    • These reports will include the results of the checks you selected, such as criminal history, employment verification, etc.

Time to Setup

  • Account Creation and Verification: Approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on how quickly you can complete the verification steps.
  • Learning the Platform: Around 30-60 minutes to get familiar with navigating Checkr and understanding how to add candidates and initiate checks.
  • Performing Checks: Adding and initiating checks for candidates can be done in a matter of minutes per candidate.

Benefits

  • Ease of Use: No coding or integration required. Everything can be done directly through the Checkr platform.
  • Efficiency: Simple and quick setup process.
  • Scalability: Easily handle multiple background checks by uploading candidate information in bulk.

Drawbacks

  • Manual Process: Requires manual entry of candidate information unless uploading a CSV.
  • No Automation: Lacks the automation that could be achieved through integration with other services.

This approach provides a simple, no-code solution for conducting background checks using Checkr, allowing you to quickly and efficiently perform necessary checks without any complex setup or integrations.
