Applicant Review Tab - Background Check Status Type

The Background Check status type panel on the Applicant Review tab of the job requisition is a placeholder for this step in the applicant status workflow. The panel displays the name of the status as the panel heading. The status type of Background Check displays in parentheses to the right of the status name. The panel is not expandable or collapsible. See Statuses Tab - Background Check Status Type.

For background checks that have a validity period, the background check results appear in the status type panel during the validity period across all non-closed requisitions that are applicable for the candidate.

Status change emails can be configured for the Background Check status type panel. See Status Change Emails.

Note: The visibility of the Background Check status is controlled by a backend setting that is disabled by default. To enable this functionality, contact Global Customer Support.

To access Manage Job Requisitions, go to Recruit > Manage Requisitions.

PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Requisition: Edit Applicant Review Grants ability to edit the Applicant Review tab of the Edit Requisition page. This permission cannot be constrained. Recruiting
Requisition: Manage Grants ability to access and manage all requisitions regardless of ownership (constraints permitting). This permission also grants read-only access to the Applicant Review tab when creating or editing a job requisition. This permission can be constrained by OU, User's OU, and Grade. Recruiting
Requisition: Owner

Enables owner to access requisitions and applicants for requisitions for which they are an owner. This permission also grants read-only access to video interviews that are completed by applicants via HireVue. For portals with Referral Suite enabled, this permission also enables requisition owners to edit the referral source on the Applicant Profile page. This permission cannot be constrained.

Note: This is a dynamically assigned permission that is not available in Security Role Administration. If the user is removed as an owner, the permission is revoked for the associated requisition. This permission cannot be manually assigned. Also, if a user has both the permission necessary to manage requisitions and be a requisition owner, the constraints of the Requisition: Manage permission overrule those of the Requisition: Owner permission. For requisition owners that do not also have permission to manage requisitions, only certain fields are editable when editing a requisition.

Recruiting

Note: The permission to review or approve a job requisition grants users view access to the requisition.

Note: For users with permission to access job requisitions but who do not have permission to edit the Applicant Review tab, the tab is visible but cannot be modified.

Background Checks with Validity Periods

Validity periods can be configured for background check integrations when configuring the integration in Edge. See Background Check Connector - Settings.

On the Applicant Profile > Statuses tab, the date on which the background check expires displays in the Expiration Date field below the request details. The expiration date is not calculated until results are returned from the background check vendor.

In addition, the original requisition where the background check was requested is also visible, both when the background check is in an In Progress status and when results have been returned.

If an applicant has applied to other requisitions, then the background check results will be visible for those requisitions, as well, during the background check's validity period.

Sensitive Statuses

Recruiters who have permission to view sensitive statuses will be able to see background check results across all requisitions for which they have access when the candidate was in a sensitive status for the background check.

Recruiters who do not have the sensitive statuses permission will not have access to background check results that were submitted when the status the candidate was in was defined as sensitive.
