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

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){height="" width=""}

2. Click **More**.

3. Select **Add Integrations** from the pop-up list.

4. Select **Check candidate** from the Checkmate option.

5. Select the type of check you want to apply. Choose either: 

   - **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.

   We recommend you choose one of these two options rather than the **Multiple background checks** option.

6. Click **Check candidate**.

![click Check candidate](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/06_teamtailor_checks_click_check_candidate.png){height="" width=""}

7. 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){height="" width=""}

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){height="" width=""}

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
Result files can be downloaded via the **Background Checks** tab when the check has been completed.
