# Candidate checks via Snaphire

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

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

## Launch checks within Snaphire
1. Create a job and attach candidates to the job.
2. Click on the number against the stage where Checkmate is mapped to e.g. "Incoming".
3. Ensure the **Assessment Hub** column has been added to your dashboard within that stage (speak to Snaphire to config this).
4. The candidate will appear with  a **Check Ready** purple icon.
5. Click on the icon and select **Start Assessment**.
6. Click on the orange **Check Action** icon.
7. A window will popup, prompting you to select your desired background checks. 
8. Select the **Bundle** or individual checks you'd like to launch. If your organisation has more than one brand, select the appropriate **Brand**.
9. Once you've selected your checks and configured any options for those checks, scroll down and click **Launch Checks**.

10. Once the checks have been launched successfully the **Assessment Hub** icon will display **Check Candidate** in orange.

## Monitor progress
To monitor and review results, navigate to the stage where Checkmate is mapped. Click on the **Checkmate** icon next to the preferred candidate to launch the Checkmate window.

:::(Info) (Tip)
If the pop out window is too small, click on the **Here** option to open it in a new browser tab.

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.
