Hometrak HomeTrak has partnered with SterlingBackcheck to provide background checks on new employees. We have developed an interface with SterlingBackcheck with which you can create background check requests with SterlingBackcheck directly from Companion and SterlingBackcheck will complete the check. When the background checks are completed, Companion will show the updated status and provide a link to the background check information.

The background checks features are contained within the Human Resources section of the Relationship Management Module and also have their own unique security options to control access.

Info

Before configuring Companion to integrate with SterlingBackcheck, you must set up an Integration user account with Sterling.

Setup and Configuration

The interface setup to connect HomeTrak Companion to SterlingBackcheck is found in the Home tab of the Agency Office Module under the Interfaces tool. You will need to fill in account information here that you get from SterlingBackcheck in order for Companion to connect to your company's account to create and submit the background check requests.
