What can I automate with Checkr in Sim?

You can list candidates, get candidate, create candidate, update candidate, and delete candidate PII with Checkr in Sim, plus 51 more Checkr tools listed on this page. Each runs as a tool inside an AI agent, so the agent can combine Checkr with any other connected service and apply LLM reasoning between steps.

How do I connect Checkr to Sim?

(1) Create a free account at sim.ai. (2) Create an agent in your workspace. (3) Drag a Checkr block onto the workflow builder. (4) Paste your Checkr API key to authenticate. (5) Pick a tool such as "List Candidates", wire up its inputs, and click Run.

Can Checkr events start a Sim agent automatically?

Yes. Sim supports 31 triggers for Checkr: Checkr Report Completed, Checkr Report Created, Checkr Report Updated, Checkr Report Upgraded, Checkr Report Suspended, Checkr Report Resumed, and 25 more. Add a Checkr trigger to your agent, and every matching Checkr event starts a run with the event data available to the rest of the workflow.

Q: How do I list candidates with Checkr in Sim?

Add a Checkr block to your agent and select "List Candidates" as the tool. List candidates, optionally filtered by email, name, custom ID, adjudication, dates, geo, or program. Candidates with non-US work locations are not returned. Fill in the required fields. Inputs can reference outputs from earlier steps, such as text generated by an AI block or data fetched from another integration.

Checkr tools

56 Checkr tools available to Sim agents.

List Candidates

List candidates, optionally filtered by email, name, custom ID, adjudication, dates, geo, or program. Candidates with non-US work locations are not returned.

Get Candidate

Retrieve a candidate by ID, including their report and geo IDs.

Create Candidate

Create a candidate to screen. Only email is required when the candidate will be invited; ordering a report directly also needs name, date of birth, and the PII its package requires.

Update Candidate

Update a candidate. Once a report is ordered only empty fields can change, except email, phone, previous driver license, copy requested, custom ID, and geo IDs.

Delete Candidate PII

Request removal of a candidate's personally identifiable information. Fails if PII was already removed.

Invite Candidate

Invite a candidate to complete a background check through the Checkr-hosted apply flow. Checkr emails the candidate a link to provide their information and consent.

List Invitations

List invitations, optionally filtered by candidate or status.

Get Invitation

Retrieve an invitation by ID, including its status and invitation URL.

Cancel Invitation

Cancel a pending invitation so the candidate can no longer complete it.

Order Report

Order a background check report for a candidate using a package. Use only when you collect the candidate’s PII and consent yourself; otherwise create an invitation. Packages with international screenings must use invitations.

Get Report

Retrieve a report by ID, including its status, result, adjudication, and the IDs of each screening it ran.

Update Report

Upgrade a report to a different package or mark it as engaged. Provide a package, an adjudication, or both.

Complete Report

Complete a report now, canceling any pending or suspended screenings. Canceled screenings record a cancellation reason.
