Most hiring processes include both an interview and a background check, usually handled by different tools. This page explains how NTRVSTA connects to Checkr so the two steps sit in one process. To be clear up front: NTRVSTA runs interviews, and Checkr runs the background checks.
What the Checkr integration does
The integration combines NTRVSTA's live AI interview with Checkr's checks in one hiring process. Candidates are interviewed and scored in NTRVSTA; the background check itself is ordered, run and reported by Checkr under your Checkr account and your own policies.
The practical value is fewer handoffs. Recruiters spend less time copying candidate details between systems, and the people who clear the interview move toward the check without someone chasing the next step by email. NTRVSTA does not see, interpret or decide anything about background check results.
Order matters for fairness and cost. Many employers interview first and run checks only later in the process, often after a conditional offer. NTRVSTA does not decide when or whether a check happens; your team sets that policy in your process and in Checkr.
How teams use NTRVSTA with Checkr
- Interview every applicant for high-turnover roles with an AI first round that runs 24/7, and start the Checkr step only for candidates your team decides to move forward.
- Keep the interview decision and the background check decision separate, with the NTRVSTA score breakdown and report documenting the interview side.
- Use AI resume scoring to narrow the pool first, so fewer candidates reach steps that cost money per person.
- Run first rounds in multiple languages for frontline or field roles, then hand the shortlist to the background check step in Checkr.
- Show auditors or legal teams NTRVSTA's published NYC Local Law 144 bias audit on our compliance page, alongside whatever records Checkr keeps for the check.
Setting it up
The NTRVSTA team connects Checkr to your NTRVSTA account. Most teams finish within a few days, depending on customization, and your Checkr account admin needs to approve the connection. Your background check packages and policies stay in Checkr. Book a demo to talk it through.
Before going live, confirm with your legal or compliance team the point in the process where checks should start, since that is a policy choice for your company rather than a setting in NTRVSTA.
