Does MachineHiring ATS trigger background checks automatically?

Yes — MachineHiring ATS can be configured to trigger background checks automatically. Once a candidate reaches a defined stage in the pipeline (for example, “Final Interview Complete” or “Offer Pending”), the system can:

• Send candidate details to your background check provider through an integration or API connection.
• Capture candidate consent via digital forms before the check begins.
• Track the request status (initiated, in progress, completed) inside the candidate’s profile.
• Store results securely with access restricted to authorized users only.
• Trigger next-step workflows (such as moving to “Cleared for Offer”) once the results are received.

Since MachineHiring ATS is customizable, you can decide whether checks happen automatically at a pipeline stage, or only after manual approval. This flexibility ensures background screening fits seamlessly into your compliance and hiring process.
