New BambooHR and Checkr Integration for Easier Background Checks

Kristen Faris, Senior Vice President of Sales Solutions at Checkr, said, "With our new Checkr and BambooHR integration, customers can now request, run, and manage background checks within their existing applicant tracking system for an amazing customer and candidate experience."

She further added, "By streamlining the background check process, users can more easily and efficiently move through the hiring and onboarding process."
