Background checks shouldn’t slow down hiring, onboarding, or volunteer approvals. That’s why Bchex integrates directly with the systems organizations already use to manage people and access. From HR platforms and applicant tracking systems to school and volunteer tools, Bchex integrations help streamline screening while maintaining accuracy and compliance. This guide explains what Bchex integrations are, how they work, and why they matter.
Bchex integrations are secure connections between Bchex’s background screening platform and third-party systems organizations use to manage applicants, employees, volunteers, and visitors.
These integrations allow organizations to:
Instead of switching between platforms, users can manage screening within their existing workflows.
Manually entering applicant information increases errors and slows onboarding.
Re-keying names, SSNs, or emails can lead to mismatches or compliance issues.
Integrations ensure disclosures, consent, and screening steps are applied uniformly.
Schools, nonprofits, and growing businesses often process hundreds or thousands of screenings each year.
Integrated systems provide instant status updates without chasing emails or reports.
