Short answer

How can I track my background checks and candidate invitations?

Your AI uses Checkr tools to pull lists of active reports and pending invitations. You'll get a clear view of who has finished their tasks and which reports are still processing.

Status tracking outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI pulls specific information from Checkr to give you these four views.

PENDING

Identify stalled checks

The AI identifies reports that are still in progress. You'll know exactly which screenings are taking longer than expected.

INCOMPLETE

Spot missing invitations

Your AI finds candidates who haven't responded to their screening requests. This helps you follow up with people who are stuck.

DETAILS

Deep dive into reports

You can ask for specific information on a single candidate. The AI pulls the exact status and details for a specific report.

HUMAN

Manual intervention needed

The AI identifies when a report is stuck or a candidate is unresponsive. You'll need to step in to contact the candidate or resolve issues.

The workflow

What your AI does when the status request arrives.

Instead of you clicking through menus, your AI performs the following steps to find your answers.

  1. Scan active reports

    The AI looks through your current queue to find every background check currently being processed.

    list_background_reports

  2. Check candidate responses

    It checks which invitations have been sent out and which ones the candidates haven't touched yet.

    list_screening_invitations

  3. Pull specific data

    If you need more than a summary, the AI grabs the full details for a specific report.

    get_report_details

  4. Summarize progress

    The AI organizes the raw data into a list of who is done, who is pending, and who needs a nudge.
