# Setting up the JazzHR integration

[Video](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/setting_up_the_jazzhr_integration.mp4) Integrating JazzHR with Checkmate streamlines your candidate background screening process. Once set up, you can launch checks in Checkmate without leaving JazzHR, and view the progress of checks directly within JazzHR.

Before you begin

Checkmate integrations are configured at company level. To avoid any issues, we recommend completing the steps below using your company's Checkmate user account with the highest level of permissions.

Once you've completed setup, see [Candidate checks via JazzHR](/v1/docs/candidate-checks-via-jazzhr) to get started.
