In any hiring process, having clear and transparent documentation is key to making informed decisions. We understand that reviewing candidate reports can sometimes be a tedious task, especially when it's hard to quickly understand the status of each background check. To address this, we’ve introduced a detailed progress tracking feature for PDF reports to give you better visibility and help you navigate through candidate information with ease.

Let’s dive into how this new update can benefit your workflow.

The challenge of unclear report statuses

Previously, our PDF reports lacked detailed visibility into the specific progress of each background check. Users found it challenging to understand whether a particular check was still in progress, completed, or if there were issues that needed attention. This lack of clarity often led to confusion, delays, and more time spent manually figuring out the status of different checks.

In a fast-paced hiring environment, you need information at a glance, and our previous format didn’t always provide that.

Our solution: detailed progress tracking for PDF reports

To solve this challenge, we’ve introduced a new feature to the first page of all PDF reports: a dedicated column that clearly shows the stage of each background check. Now, each check will have its own progress label, such as:

  • In Progress
  • Completed
  • No Response

These labels help you immediately understand where each check stands, without needing to dig deeper into the report. This means less time spent interpreting data and more time focusing on what matters—making the right hiring decisions.

How this benefits your hiring workflow

  1. Faster decision-making: With detailed progress indicators visible at a glance, you can quickly assess where each candidate stands in their background check process. This enables your team to make informed decisions without unnecessary delays.
  2. Greater clarity: The progress labels provide a clear understanding of each check’s status, reducing the risk of misinterpretation and ensuring everyone involved has the right information.
  3. Streamlined review process: By simplifying the way information is presented, this new feature streamlines your review process, making it easier for HR managers and recruiters to work efficiently and effectively.

How to use this new feature

When you open a PDF report, the first page will now include a column labeled “Check Status” where each check is clearly listed along with its current stage. Whether it’s still in progress, completed, or awaiting a response, you’ll have all the information you need right in front of you. 

With this improvement, we hope your experience reviewing candidate reports becomes clearer and more efficient, allowing you to make decisions with ease.

What background check do I need?

Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.

Again, this depends on the type of checks you need.
