Integration with ADP
Checkr's integration with ADP Workforce Now streamlines your background screening process by connecting seamlessly within your existing hiring workflow. The integration utilizes OAuth authentication for secure access and enables recruiters to initiate background checks directly from the ADP pre-hire stage without switching platforms.
If you're an existing Checkr client, please visit our data connector listings.
Data Sharing
- The integration automatically transfers essential candidate information from ADP Workforce Now to Checkr, including candidate name, email address, phone number, current address, and work location details. This eliminates manual data entry and reduces errors. Background check results, including overall status (in progress/completed), assessment outcomes, adjudication decisions, and direct links to detailed PDF reports flow back into ADP Workforce Now in real-time, providing complete visibility within your hiring dashboard.
Key Integration Capabilities
- The system supports bidirectional data synchronization with real-time status updates, user synchronization across locations and departments, account hierarchy management for multi-location organizations, and embedded user interfaces that maintain the native ADP experience. Background check invitations are sent via Checkr's mobile-optimized candidate portal using SMS and email communication, while comprehensive screening packages automatically sync from Checkr to ADP Workforce Now. The integration includes estimated time of arrival (ETA) tracking, one-click access to detailed reports and the full Checkr dashboard, and supports up to 100 organizational nodes for embedded solutions.
Implementation
- The integration is designed for easy deployment with OAuth-based authentication and requires subscription to the Checkr connector in ADP Marketplace. All package management and updates are handled through the Checkr dashboard and automatically synchronized to ADP Workforce Now, ensuring consistent screening configurations across your organization.

How we use AI
- At Checkr, our AI transforms complex data into clear, actionable insights, significantly enhancing hiring efficiency and accuracy. Key features include name and role matching, document verification, and dynamically updating report ETAs, all of which streamline and simplify background checks to help make trust decisions more effective.
Here’s how Checkr AI powers some of our core functionalities:
- Charge Classifier: This feature simplifies complex legal jargon into understandable terms. By classifying the type of charge and its disposition, it supports human decision-makers in applying consistent adjudication rules, ultimately ensuring fair and accurate hiring decisions.
Name Matcher: Names can vary greatly across records. Checkr AI identifies correct name associations, helping ensure accurate record matching by handling different name variations effectively.
Document Inspector: Verifies the authenticity of uploaded documents, such as diplomas, ensuring they haven't been forged or altered. This helps enhance trust in the verification process.
Role Matcher: Quickly confirms a candidate’s previous roles, reducing the time and effort required to verify employment history and detect discrepancies.
ETA Updates: Provides live updates on report statuses, reducing uncertainty and saving time for both employers and candidates.
Checkr employs machine learning models trained on data from millions of background checks conducted annually. We regularly test and monitor these models to maintain accuracy and minimize bias. Our AI tools are designed to support human judgment in employment decisions, not replace it.
