| CheckR | Legacy | CheckR | BackGround Screening | HCM | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, Square implemented CheckR as its BackGround Screening application. The deployment centralized candidate screening into CheckR and integrated screening status into Square hiring workflows for consistency across talent acquisition processes.
The CheckR implementation encompassed standard BackGround Screening capabilities including automated background checks, identity verification workflows, status tracking, and adjudication case handling. Configuration focused on workflow automation to trigger screening orders from applicant events and to capture screening outcomes and adjudication notes within the application.
Integrations were implemented with Service Cloud, Desk, the company Content Management System, and SQL to synchronize candidate records, surface screening status in case and ticket interfaces, and persist screening metadata for reporting and audit. API based connectors and data feeds were used to route screening results into Service Cloud cases and Desk tickets and to populate SQL tables for downstream queries and archival.
Governance and operational control included establishing role based access to screening results, standardized adjudication workflows for hiring teams, and notification routing to recruiting and HR stakeholders. CheckR served as the authoritative BackGround Screening system, providing structured screening event data to customer service and talent systems for operational visibility.
