<br>Integrating SmartRecruiters with Checkmate streamlines your candidate background screening process. Once set up, you can launch checks in Checkmate without leaving SmartRecruiters, and view the progress of checks directly within SmartRecruiters.

:::(Info) (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.
