Joynd is a fully-managed integration company that offers an integration between Lever and Atlantic Employee Screening (Atlantic) that allows you to seamlessly submit candidates for background screening directly from your Lever dashboard.

Atlantic will be notified when a candidate has reached a trigger stage in Lever. A background screening order will automatically be added to your account in Atlantic and the candidate emailed a secure link. Once the candidate has completed their submission and the background screen has been completed by Atlantic, the status and screening report will be available on your Lever dashboard.

 

You must be an existing Atlantic Employee Screening customer in order to enable this integration. Costs include a one-time Joynd Setup Fee and an annual Joynd subscription fee calculated based on the annual number of background screens performed. You can discuss these costs with options with your Atlantic Employee Screening representative.

Using the Atlantic Employee Screening integration

Adding the Atlantic Background Screening package to a job

Specify which Atlantic background screening package to order by adding a tag on the job record in Lever. 

 

You will need to create the tag the first time you order for each Atlantic package. Afterwards, it will appear as part of the tag drop-down list whenever you add a tag and start typing "package".

For each package, create a tag using the following format:

  • Package = "Atlantic_<package_name>"

Tag outlined in Lever job posting editor.

Initiating the background screen

When you add a candidate to a job, the Lever opportunity record will automatically show the tag with the Atlantic package that you added to the job in the previous step.

To initiate the background screening order, change the stage of the opportunity to the pipeline stage you added in the previous step (e.g. 'Background Screening').

Stage menu expanded on opportunity profile, Background Screening stage highlighted on hover.

If the order was successful, after a few seconds you will see the tag “Background Check:Ordered” added to the opportunity in Lever.  If it was not successful, you will see the tag “Background Check:Error”.

Reviewing Atlantic Background Screening results

Once Atlantic has completed the background screen, the opportunity record will be updated with the tag “Background Check:Completed” and there will be a new note added.

You will find a link to the Atlantic report in the 'Notes' section of the opportunity.
