They come with different online forms that have different requirements for the background checks. Below is where you can select what the individual New Hire needs in relation to a particular Background Check Vendor, as well as which form they must fill out.

How do I activate an existing Background Check Vendor into the selection list?

We provide real Background Check Vendors in our database, but we do not have them active on the Background Check Vendor when you click on the lookup. This is because your organization is free to limit or expand which is active. This makes it easier to manage.

Due to the vendor's information being already filled out, it is easy to activate and start using them.
