Applicant References Data
Data on an applicant's references is passed to Accurate Background Check when a background check is performed on the applicant. This means the applicant will not need to enter their references manually when filling out a background check form with Accurate.

How Is the Applicant References Data Retrieved by Accurate?
In order for Accurate to retrieve the applicant's data, specific reference questions will need to be created in the Question Bank in Form Management so that the questions can be added to a form in Form Management that will be used to request the applicant's references.
Field Mapping
The name of the question in Cornerstone does not need to match the name of the field in Accurate, but it must be mapped to the correctly corresponding field in Accurate in order for the data to pass successfully to Accurate.
Question Sets
There are three different sets of these questions, since applicants can submit up to three references. Each set represents one applicant reference. It is necessary to create each set.
If more than three sets are created, any data outside of the first three sets will not be passed to Accurate.
Create Questions
To create the questions:
- Navigate to .
- Click .
- Select Text as the field type.
- Configure each question separately by entering a name for the question in the Question field and entering the API exactly as it is listed in the right-hand column. The "Field Name in Accurate Background Check" column indicates the exact name of the field in Accurate. You can use the Accurate field name as your question or enter a different name, but the API will need to correspond exactly so that the applicant's data can be transferred successfully.
Create Form
Once you have created the questions, navigate to Form Management > Manage Forms and create a form for requesting an applicant's references, making sure to enter Accurate_Reference_Form in the API Name field on the Build tab. The purpose of entering this API name is so that the system knows the correct form to send to Accurate Background Check. See Create Form - Build Tab .
On the form, add the questions that you created above. The references request form will be assigned to applicants on the Manage Applicants page. The form will be available to the applicant from their My Profile page in the career site, where they can then launch and complete the form.
