Once the Lever integration is set up, you can launch background checks and track their progress without leaving Lever.

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

## Launch checks within Lever
1. In Lever, move the candidate to the stage configured during the integration setup.

2. Follow the Checkmate link on the candidate’s card.

3. A window will popup, prompting you to select your desired background checks. 
4. Select the **Bundle** or individual checks you'd like to launch. If your organisation has more than one brand, select the appropriate **Brand**.
5. Once you've selected your checks and configured any options for those checks, scroll down and click **Launch Checks**.

## Monitor progress
Access the Checkmate window via the candidate link.
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.

## View results
You'll see a notification within Lever when the candidate checks have been completed.
