Integrating SAP SuccessFactors with Checkmate streamlines your candidate background screening process. Once set up, you can launch checks in Checkmate without leaving SAP SuccessFactors, and view the progress of checks directly within SAP SuccessFactors.
This integration is not an out-of-the-box setup, and some configuration work will be required on the client side before it can go live.
Before you begin
Checkmate integrations are configured at company level. To avoid any issues, we recommend completing the steps below using your company's Checkmate user account with the highest level of permissions.
Once you've completed setup, see Candidate checks via SAP Successfactors to get started.
