Bchex Integrations: What Systems We Connect With

Written by Emma White | Feb 3, 2026 3:13:43 PM

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. 

 

What Are Bchex Integrations? 

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: 

  • Initiate background checks directly from their system 
  • Eliminate duplicate data entry 
  • Track screening status in real time 
  • Receive results automatically 
  • Maintain a single source of truth 

Instead of switching between platforms, users can manage screening within their existing workflows. 

 

Why Integrations Matter for Background Screening 

  1. Manual Screening Creates Delays

Manually entering applicant information increases errors and slows onboarding. 

  1. Duplicate Data Entry Increases Risk

Re-keying names, SSNs, or emails can lead to mismatches or compliance issues. 

  1. Compliance Requires Consistency

Integrations ensure disclosures, consent, and screening steps are applied uniformly. 

  1. High-Volume Screening Needs Automation

Schools, nonprofits, and growing businesses often process hundreds or thousands of screenings each year. 

  1. Teams Need Real-Time Visibility

Integrated systems provide instant status updates without chasing emails or reports.

How Bchex Integrations Work 

Step 1: Connect Bchex to Your System 

Bchex integrates with commonly used platforms across hiring, education, and volunteer management. 

Once connected, authorized users can trigger background checks without leaving their system. 

Step 2: Automatically Send Applicant or Volunteer Data 

Key information - such as name, email, and role - flows securely into Bchex, reducing manual entry and errors. 

Step 3: Complete Disclosure and Consent Digitally 

Applicants or volunteers receive electronic disclosures and authorization forms, supporting FCRA compliance. 

Step 4: Track Status and Receive Results 

Screening progress and results sync back to the connected system, giving admins real-time visibility. 

Step 5: Take Action With Confidence 

Integrated workflows help teams move candidates forward, request clarification, or follow adverse action procedures when needed. 

 

Types of Systems Bchex Integrates With 

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) 

Bchex integrates with applicant tracking systems to streamline pre-hire screening. 

These integrations help employers: 

  • Trigger background checks automatically 
  • Keep hiring moving faster 
  • Reduce candidate drop-off
