If you haven't set up the integration yet, see [Setting up the Bullhorn integration](/v1/docs/setting-up-the-bullhorn-integration) before continuing.

## Monitor progress

You can monitor the progress of checks and any candidate activity at any time by returning to the **Checkmate** tab on the candidate's profile in Bullhorn.

The following 3 tabs allow you to view progress and edit candidate details:

**Background Checks** - From here you can view the status of the check, add additional checks using the **Add Checks** button and download results when checks are complete.

**Candidate** - This tab allows you to update the candidate's details at any time during the background check process.

**History** - This tab shows a chronological log of events related to the candidate's background screening process.
