If you’re considering integrating background checks into your application tracking system, this blog is for you!

When we speak with companies about integrating, we notice that there is hesitation based on the belief that the process will be a massive undertaking. Some companies recognize the value but hold off because they think it will be very difficult, that it will require a lot of technical participation on their part, or that the security opens their company up to vulnerabilities.

We want to reassure you that it’s not that big of a deal. Seriously. At Triton, we’ve set up the process to be as clean, secure, and streamlined as possible.

How do we streamline the process to make it as pain-free as possible?

By starting from the very first conversation and communicating all the way through.

We have developed a set of guidelines to help you navigate the process that involves gathering as much information as possible from the get-go.

1.  What’s your end goal, what do you want to see from Triton’s side?

2.  How are you working with your application tracking system today, how would you like it to work (eliminate steps, eliminate opening different tabs, etc.)?

3.  What is the business process today, and what should it be?

The answers to the questions help us tailor our approach and create an integration plan aligned with your requirements. Having them laid out initially makes the process a lot cleaner so we know what information to look for from your ATS vendor.

At the very end, before the program goes live, we help you test it and get your feedback to make sure it’s working the way that you want it to. It’s part of the sign-off. We support you until the end (and even after that!).

How long does a typical application tracking system integration take?

Another barrier for many companies is the belief that integration will take a long time. We won’t speak for all providers, but that’s just not the case with Triton.

How long your integration will take depends on a variety of factors, including what information you’re working with, what you want to see, how you want to use the information from Triton, and how much access we have to resources on your end. Basic integrations can be completed in as little as 4-6 weeks. Others may take longer depending on the complexity of the integration. There are, however, no surprises. This timeline is developed in the initial discussion stage. We’ll work through the various stages with you at the beginning so you will know what to expect along the entire timeline. Communication is key.

What about security?

That’s another hesitation companies have since they’re relying on us to keep things as secure as possible with some sensitive data.

We offer top-tier security. Honestly, when it comes to application tracking system integrations, the same things that keep you up at night keep us up at night. Security is always top of mind for us, and we have developed a rigorous process to make sure that we are not introducing vulnerabilities. That includes SOC 2 compliance, PCI, pen testing, etc. We stay up-to-date with industry standards and are always looking for ways to do checks more often, not just based on recommended timelines. For example, it’s recommended to do certain scans quarterly to detect any potential risks. We increase that cadence to monthly or even weekly so that we can be sure that we have complete control over the data that we’re entrusted with. We have a continuous improvement mindset, and our regular internal audits ensure that our platform is as secure as it can possibly be.

At Triton, we don’t offer a cookie-cutter approach to ATS integration. We’re flexible, and we build out your integration based on your needs. We understand your concerns and we face them ourselves. How do we make it better, more secure, more streamlined – that’s our day-to-day. If you’re considering integrating background checks into your application tracking system, don’t hesitate. We can walk you through the process to ease your mind. We guarantee it’s a lot simpler than you think! Visit www.tritoncanada.ca today.
