If you haven't set up the integration yet, see [Setting up the Teamtailor integration](/v1/docs/setting-up-the-teamtailor-integration) before continuing. ## Launch checks within Teamtailor There are two ways to launch checks within Teamtailor: 1. Automatically via a stage trigger. 2. From a candidate profile. Once a trigger has been configured on a job stage, checks are launched automatically when a candidate is moved into that stage. No manual action is required. **To launch checks from a candidate profile follow these steps:** 1. Select the candidate from the candidate list. ![select the candidate from the candidate list](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/01_teamtailor_checks_select_candidate.gif?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 1. Click **More**. ![click More](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/02_teamtailor_checks_click_more.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 1. Select **Add Integrations** from the pop-up list. ![select Add Integrations](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/03_teamtailor_checks_select_add_integrations.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 1. Select **Check candidate** from the Checkmate option. ![select Check candidate](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/04_teamtailor_checks_select_check_candidate.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 1. Select the type of check you want to apply. Choose either: We recommend you choose one of these two options rather than the **Multiple background checks** option. - **Individual checks** — select specific checks to apply to the candidate. - **Preconfigured bundles** — select a bundle you have set up within your Checkmate account. Bundles configured in Checkmate will appear here automatically. ![select type of check](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/05_teamtailor_checks_select_type_of_check.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 1. Click **Check candidate**. ![click Check candidate](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/06_teamtailor_checks_click_check_candidate.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 1. The candidate will receive an email with a link to begin their Checkmate journey. ## Monitor progress When a check has been launched, a Checkmate card will appear on the candidate's profile in Teamtailor displaying the current status (for example, **Sent**). ![Checkmate card](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/07_teamtailor_checks_checkmate_card.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) Click **See details** on the Checkmate card to open the Checkmate view in a new browser tab. ![click See details](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/08_teamtailor_checks_see_details.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) 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. ![3 Candidate profile tabs](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/03_widget_monitoring_progress.gif?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) ## View results Result files can be downloaded via the **Background Checks** tab when the check has been completed. ![View results](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/04_widget_view_results.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T13%3A37%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T14%3A37%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eozQ%2B%2FbnthdJnifMhTfCjeMst0QWEASdvMTH%2BTtpvgU%3D) Need help?
