Integration Solutions: How Do They Work?

Written by tammy | Dec 21, 2023 4:24:18 PM

One of NCS’ primary goals is to make your job as easy as possible. That’s why we offer an API integration so you don't have to log in to multiple platforms when onboarding employees. At NCS, we built our own proprietary system, which gives us the flexibility to integrate without any headaches. 

If we don't have an integration already built into your current system, we do offer a quick and free alternative integration solution called Hirelink. By using Hirelink, your job becomes easier because you don’t have to leave your current system to order background checks.

Let's explore how Hirelink can save you time when running background checks on your new hires.

 

Why Should I Use Hirelink?

NCS receives a lot of feedback from clients and by far the most popular request is to have an integrated solution that works with your current ATS or hiring solution. Additionally, NCS understands that integrations can be a nightmare to tackle. Because of this hurdle, NCS created Hirelink FREE of charge so you can enjoy all the benefits of an integration without any of the headaches that come with them.

Hirelink provides a way to integrate all your HR data from your various platforms into one. NCS provides this service through a browser extension that will automatically detect email addresses and phone numbers on your current page. By pulling this information, Hirelink is able to pull all the data about an applicant from various platforms. This enables you to see all the necessary information to make a hiring decision without logging into each individual software platform. 

 


How Does Hirelink Work?

NCS will guide you through the simple setup process. Get started by following the steps outlined below. 

  1. Start by registering for an NCS Account.
  2. Let our team know you want to use Hirelink.
  3. NCS will create your Hirelink login and send you instructions to get started.
  4. Add the Hirelink extension to your Chrome browser.
  5. Through the Hirelink extension, request the authorization form and have it electronically signed by your applicant.
  6. Choose your search package and the system will automatically run the background search you’ve selected.
  7. View statuses and view results without ever leaving your current hiring system.

Comprehensive Background Screening with National Crime Search

For many of our clients, our featured packages offer an excellent foundation for completing robust background screening processes – with built-in SSN number traces, national sex offender registry searches, multi-state criminal database searches, and much more. Even so, each organization should analyze its own specific needs based on industry, jurisdiction, and company policies to determine when and how additional verifications and services can enhance the hiring process further, helping to bypass employee retention or liability issues and improve the quality of its workforce.

Are you ready to hire confidently with a comprehensive understanding of each candidate? Comprehensive background screening through National Crime Search grants you peace of mind about hiring decisions while ensuring the safety, health, and efficacy of your workforce. Contact us today to learn more about our featured packages and add-on/individual services so you can seamlessly integrate background screenings with your overall HR and hiring goals.
