PeopleMatter: Do Candidates Have Access to Look at Their Background Check Results?

If your prospective employer uses our Partner Marketplace, background check results will be shared directly by the vendor, and will not be stored directly in PeopleMatter. Instructions in this article only apply to those employers who do not use Partner Marketplace.

Overview

Some states (California, for example) do require candidates to receive a copy of their background check results.  If the candidate lives in a state requiring they have access to view those results, they will receive an email notifying them that their results are in PeopleMatter and to log in to their account to view the results.

Please note: The Candidate would need to select the option to receive the results in order for the results to appear in the workfile. This occurs during the Background Check Authorization form.
