- VF Background Check: Pending
- VF Background Check: Completed
- VF Background Check: Rejected
- VF Background Check: Cancelled
- You may also check the 'Notes' section of a candidate profile for any notes that may have been added by the integration. The notes provide a quick overview of the current status of the background check.
