  5. Click Send Email Invite to send the candidate an email or text message with a link to the required disclosure and authorization forms.

    • Candidates who receive a text message invite typically respond 8 hours faster than email.

  2. When the report is ready, click Report Complete on the candidate profile to view the completed report. The recruiter who submits the background check request will be notified when it’s completed by Verified First.

  3. From this screen, you can choose to approve the candidate for hire or reject the candidate using built-in templates that contain the legally required documents.

You can always view the status of a background check on the candidate's profile.
