Setup the integration:
Authorize Lever integration from your ClearChecks account
|
|

How to configure the integration:
Select candidate stage & default package
Once you have authorized the Lever integration you will be asked to select which candidate stage you would like to trigger a background check. In this example, we have a stage called "Background Check".
|
|
Most Lever accounts will have a stage for a "Background Check", or you may have customized your stages and want to run a background check when the candidate is advanced to a different stage in your workflow. |
You must specify which background check package you would like to enable and set as the default.
|
|
For now, this is the only background check package you will be able to order automatically from Lever. Soon, ClearChecks will support Lever tags, which will allow you to add a tag corresponding to your different configured packages. The tags will be used to trigger an order from a stage change. However, you may select a base level package and always add additional checks to the report from within the ClearChecks report. |
Toggle webhook on from Lever
In order for ClearChecks to communicate with Lever, you must toggle on the Stage Change Webhook from within your Settings > Integrations and API > Webhooks page in Lever.
Turn this setting on, and you will see a webhook already created by ClearChecks. If you have other integrations, this may already be toggled on, so no further action is required.
The ClearChecks integration is now ready for use!
