How to Start Running Background Checks

Before you can invite candidates to complete background checks, you'll need to first connect with our background checks partner, Yardstik. Below are the steps to take to get started:

Step #1: Navigate to Background Checks Page

Login to your account and click "Background Checks" on the side navigation. 

Step #2: Complete the Initial Form

We require that you submit information about yourself and your business to proceed with your account set up. Because Yardstik is a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) and only provides business-to-business services, they require that each account is a registered business. Most of our customers fall into the nonprofit of LLC category.

Step #3 Complete the Yardstik Disclosures & Agreements

Lastly, you will need to accept the Yardstik disclosures and agreements in order to complete your account set up.

Step #4: Account In Progress

You're all set! Our team will review your submitted documents and reach out in 1-3 business days with an update on your account. You may experience delays if you don't complete the full form or provide inaccurate information. 

If you have any questions about getting started, please send us an email to help@jerseywatch.com!
