For many HR professionals, finding qualified candidates requires keeping track of paperwork and transferring applicant information from one system to another. One way to drastically improve the efficiency of your hiring process is to integrate your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with your background screening provider or Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA). With integrations, CRA’s platform communicates directly with your ATS, eliminating the middle step for HR professionals.

“Integrations may seem complicated on the surface, but it really is as simple as connecting two systems in order to make the hiring process easier for both candidates and employers,” said Tris Chapman, Director of Corporate Solutions for ESS. An ATS allows applicants to go online, enter their information, and apply for the position of interest. The data is then housed within the ATS platform as a candidate profile, which follows them through the hiring and screening process.

HR professionals with integrated systems can place orders and review background check reports without manually transferring applicant information to a separate CRA platform, saving time and shrinking the margin for error.

While setting up an ATS integration requires technological knowledge, Employment Screening Services (ESS) has expert solutions in place to ensure your integration is implemented quickly and industry best practice workflows. Our team of seasoned Project Managers will work with the ATS provider to handle the technical aspects of the integration program, develop a custom launch plan, and coordinate testing and training on the system. This simple, hassle-free process is completed with our unmatched level of service certainty while offering key benefits to your hiring process.

ESS currently integrates with more than 40 ATS and partner platforms, many of which can have you up and running in 30 days or less. We provide an array of smart solutions and accommodate both turn-key or custom integrations for any size business. For additional information contact us at sales@es2.com.
