Background Checks in BambooHR

You can now run background checks without leaving BambooHR. You can initiate checks for candidates, new hires during onboarding, or existing employees, all from the same system where you already manage hiring and employee data. To get you started, your first background check is on us!

Run criminal background checks worldwide, with expanded screening options available in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, so you can customize checks to fit local requirements and role-specific needs.
Choose from ready-made packages or build your own with the screenings that matter most. Then order, track, and review every check in one place, no extra tools required.

Stay on top of every step. Real-time statuses like Consent Requested, Processing, Approved, and Consider keep you informed, while completed reports are automatically stored and easy to access.

Make confident, compliant decisions. When a report requires review, you can approve it or move it into a pre-adverse action flow, with clear next steps and tracking built in.
