Sprinto Test

Overview

Checkr Integration

Connect Checkr with Sprinto to automate background verification checks, sync employee screening reports, and monitor compliance status.

Sprinto connects to Checkr using an OAuth-based authentication flow and periodically syncs candidate and report data.

Once connected:

  1. Sprinto fetches candidate data from Checkr
  2. Background verification reports are retrieved for each candidate
  3. Employees are matched using email IDs
  4. The latest report status is evaluated
  5. Compliance checks are updated automatically

If no background verification report is found for a staff member, Sprinto activates a check and flags it as non-compliant.

Features

  • Automated sync of background verification reports
  • Continuous monitoring of employee screening status
  • Automatic mapping of Checkr candidates to Sprinto users
  • Detection of missing background checks
  • Real-time compliance status updates
  • Support for OAuth-based secure authentication

Sprinto checks for Checkr integration

Following are the Sprinto checks available for Checkr integration:

Sprinto checkRequired action
Background check via Checkr should be completedThis check activates against a staff member if no background verification report is detected.
To fix this check, complete the background verification for the respective staff member on the integrated service provider platform. Once done, Sprinto detects the changes and sets the check status to “Passing.”

Prerequisites

Before connecting Checkr to Sprinto, ensure that:

  • You have administrator access to your Checkr account
  • Your Checkr account has active background verification data
  • Employees are added in Sprinto with valid email IDs (for mapping)

What data does Sprinto collect?

Data TypePurpose
Candidate detailsIdentify employees in Checkr

Background verification reportsEvaluate screening status
Report statusDetermine compliance outcome

Permissions required

Sprinto requires the following access from Checkr:

  • Read candidate data
  • Read background verification reports
  • Read account information

You must have admin-level access to grant these permissions.

Technical details

Authentication

  • Method: OAuth 2.0 (primary)
  • Alternative: API key (Basic Auth, internal support)

API usage

Sprinto interacts with Checkr APIs to:

  • Fetch candidates (paginated)
  • Retrieve report details
  • Validate account connection
  • Map report status to compliance checks

Rate limits

  • Checkr API: ~600 requests per minute
  • Sprinto applies internal throttling and retry mechanisms

  1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations.
  3. In the All tab, search for Checkr.
  4. Click Connect.
  1. In the first drawer:
    1. Review the permissions and data accessed by Sprinto.

After successful authorisation, you will be redirected back to Sprinto and the integration will be established.

Add Checkr as a background verification source

After connecting the integration, you must configure Checkr as a background verification provider:

  1. Navigate to Data Library → People → Configuration.
  2. Click Manage next to Background verifications.

Sprinto will begin syncing background verification data.

Data sync and behaviour

  • Initial sync: Triggered immediately after connection

    • Evaluation: May take a few hours
  • Ongoing sync: Periodic background updates

If required, you can manually refresh data from the People configuration section.

Error handling and troubleshooting

Additional notes

  • Only employees with matching email IDs are mapped correctly.
  • Background verification status is derived from the latest available report.
  • Missing or incomplete reports will trigger compliance failures.
  • Reconnecting the integration may be required if admin access changes.
