Spark Hire Recruit's integration with HireRight makes it simple to run background checks as part of your hiring workflow. Leverage the integration with HireRight to run checks and view candidate evaluations directly from Spark Hire Recruit.
1. Activate the integration
From your avatar at the top right, navigate to Settings > Integrations.
Activate HireRight in the following two places:
Scroll down to Sourcing Tools to find HireRight and click Integrate. In the permissions section, select to share All positions and click Allow access to confirm.
Then, scroll back up to Assessment Tools, find HireRight again, click Integrate and then Activate.
2. Contact support
Once you've enabled HireRight in both places, email recruit.support@sparkhire.com and let the Spark Hire Support team know you’re setting up the HireRight integration.
They will ensure that both HireRight apps (Sourcing and Assessment) use the same API key.
Support will notify you once this is confirmed.
3. Provide the API key to HireRight
When you receive confirmation from support:
From your avatar at the top right, navigate to Settings > Integrations and scroll down to Assessment Tools.
Find HireRight and click the Integrate button to expand the section.
Copy the API key and provide it to your HireRight Technical Consultant.
Wait for HireRight to confirm that the integration has been enabled.
⚠️Important: Once the HireRight apps are activated, please avoid deactivating them unless absolutely necessary, as doing so will generate new API keys, which will require the Spark Hire support team to match them again.
