Can Odoo ATS Do Background Checks in the USA?

Can Odoo ATS Integrate with Background Verification Services in the USA?

Hiring the right people is more than just reviewing resumes — it’s about trust, compliance, and making informed decisions. 

In today’s fast-paced recruitment world, background verification has become a standard step, especially in the USA. But if you’re using Odoo’s Applicant Tracking System (ATS), a common question arises: Can Odoo ATS integrate with background verification services?

Let’s explore how this integration works, why it matters, and what it can do for your hiring process.


Why Background Checks Are a Must in the USA

Why Background Checks Are a Must in the USA

Whether you’re hiring for a financial role or a customer-facing position, U.S. companies are legally and ethically expected to conduct background checks. These checks help verify an applicant’s criminal history, education, previous employment, and even credit standing, depending on the role.

Services like Checkr, HireRight, GoodHire, and Sterling are widely used across the United States. They offer fast and compliant background screenings — often automated, ensuring you meet regulations like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

But switching between systems to request checks and then manually logging results? That’s where inefficiency creeps in. This is where Odoo ATS steps up.

Odoo ATS is part of the larger Odoo ERP suite — known for being modular, open-source, and highly customizable. From tracking job applicants to scheduling interviews and managing offer letters, Odoo ATS handles it all. But the real power lies in its ability to integrate with other tools.

Thanks to Odoo’s API framework and open architecture, you can connect external services — including background check platforms — with just a bit of development work.


Yes, Odoo ATS Can Integrate with Background Verification Services

The short answer is: Absolutely, yes. You can integrate Odoo ATS with U.S.-based background check services using:

  • APIs provided by background verification companies
  • Custom Odoo modules
  • Third-party apps available on the Odoo App Store
  • Middleware tools like Zapier or Make (Integromat)

Once connected, the integration can automate the entire screening process. Imagine reviewing a candidate’s profile in Odoo and triggering a background check with a single click — no switching tabs, no manual data entry.


How the Integration Works in Real Life

Let’s say your HR team is reviewing a promising applicant inside Odoo ATS. Here’s what an integrated workflow might look like:

  1. Move the candidate to the “Background Check” stage in your recruitment pipeline.
  2. Odoo sends the candidate’s info automatically to a service like Checkr or GoodHire.
  3. The background verification is processed in the backend.
  4. Once the results are ready, they’re pushed back into Odoo and stored under the candidate’s profile.
  5. HR gets notified instantly and can make a decision based on verified data.

All this without leaving the Odoo environment — smooth, professional, and compliant.
