# Setting up the JobAdder integration

[Video](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/setting_up_the_jobadder_integration.mp4) Integrating JobAdder with Checkmate streamlines your candidate background screening process. Once set up, you can launch background checks and track their progress without leaving JobAdder.

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 JobAdder](/v1/docs/candidate-checks-via-jobadder) to get started.

1. While signed in to your Checkmate account, navigate to your company settings by clicking your initials in the upper-right corner and selecting **Company Settings**.
2. Navigate to the **Integrations** tab.
3. Use the search field to find the JobAdder card, or scroll to find it.
4. Toggle the JobAdder integration on.
5. You will be prompted to log in to JobAdder to authorise the connection. Enter your JobAdder credentials and click **Sign In**.
