Checkr Integration

Connect Checkr with Sprinto to automate background verification checks, sync employee screening reports, and monitor compliance status.

Sprinto connects to Checkr using an OAuth-based authentication flow and periodically syncs candidate and report data.

Once connected:

1. Sprinto fetches candidate data from Checkr

2. Background verification reports are retrieved for each candidate

3. Employees are matched using email IDs

4. The latest report status is evaluated

5. Compliance checks are updated automatically

If no background verification report is found for a staff member, Sprinto activates a check and flags it as non-compliant.

Features

• Automated sync of background verification reports

• Continuous monitoring of employee screening status

• Automatic mapping of Checkr candidates to Sprinto users

• Detection of missing background checks

• Real-time compliance status updates

• Support for OAuth-based secure authentication

Sprinto checks for Checkr integration

Following are the Sprinto checks available for Checkr integration:

Sprinto check	Required action
Background check via Checkr should be completed	This check activates against a staff member if no background verification report is detected. To fix this check, complete the background verification for the respective staff member on the integrated service provider platform. Once done, Sprinto detects the changes and sets the check status to “Passing.”
