Log in to your Backgrounds Online account. Navigate to the avatar in the top right corner and select Integrations.
Enter your BambooHR subdomain* and click Update.
*The subdomain is the first part of your BambooHR URL. For example, if your BambooHR URL is https://helpcontent.bamboohr.com, your subdomain would be helpcontent.
If you have not logged in to BambooHR, a new window will automatically open with your BambooHR URL. Enter your login credentials. If you have already logged in, it will automatically link your access.

To initiate a background check in BambooHR, navigate to a candidate profile and change the candidate's status to the status you have designated to initiate the request in Backgrounds Online. In the example above, the status is Background Check Request.
The candidate will receive an email notification with a secure link for authorizing the background check package you have selected.
Once the candidate submits the information to process the background check, the submission automatically updates the candidate's status to reflect the status you have designated as the in-process indicator (i.e., Background Check Started).
Additionally, a note will automatically appear on the candidate's Notes tab, containing a link you have copied and pasted into your browser to view more information on the order.
Once the background check is complete, it will automatically update the candidate's status to reflect the status you have designated as the results indicator (i.e., Background Check Complete).
