Aeion Recruit + Background Checks
Order a criminal, employment, or education check through Checkr, Sterling, or GoodHire without leaving the candidate profile — and let Aeion Recruit run the FCRA two-step adverse-action process for you: consent gate, pre-adverse notice, a minimum five-business-day dispute window, and a dispute path. Providers are gated on your own API credentials, and an unconfigured provider refuses the order honestly rather than fabricating a result.

What Gets Checked
Recruit's order API accepts these check types and maps each to the provider's own package vocabulary:
Setup
Configuration today is via environment credentials, not a self-serve key-entry screen:
FCRA Adverse-Action Flow — End-to-End
This is the part that is wired deepest, because getting it wrong is a legal problem, not a UX one.

What This Integration Does NOT Do
Candid boundaries, so nobody is surprised in an audit:
FAQ
Checkr, Sterling, and GoodHire through Recruit's one-click order flow, each gated on your own API key. HireRight, First Advantage, and a manual (offline) path are supported values through the shared platform submit layer. AngelList/BuiltIn-style names sometimes seen in ATS marketing are not background-check providers here.
Both. The consent gate, pre-adverse notice, a minimum five-business-day dispute window, dispute recording, and the final adverse-action step (which refuses to fire before the pre-notice and wait) are all enforced in code — not left to a recruiter's memory.
The order is refused with a clear error (`"No background check providers configured"` or `"<Provider> API key not configured"`). Nothing is faked as ordered or completed.
Via a signed webhook (`/background-checks/webhook/:provider`), HMAC-SHA256 verified against the provider's secret. In production the route requires `RECRUIT_WEBHOOK_SECRET` and returns 503 without it, so unsigned deliveries are never processed. A manual poll endpoint is also available.
The report collection is restricted to admin and HR-admin roles by access control — it's treated as highly sensitive and kept out of the general recruiter view.
Background checks that run the FCRA process for you.
Order through Checkr, Sterling, or GoodHire from the candidate record, with consent gating, a real adverse-action flow, and HMAC-signed result webhooks — and honest refusals when a provider isn't configured.
