Paycom automatically notifies job candidates, contractors, freelancers and even current employees when a background check needs to be completed.

Once a candidate is hired, their information populates systemwide and their signed authorization and screening results automatically flow to their online file within Paycom.
Paycom’s Enhanced Background Checks allows candidates, contractors and employees to enter information, sign disclosures and acknowledge the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Paycom’s certificate-backed data security and access are available only to authorized users to help employers reduce the risk of background information getting in the wrong hands.
With Paycom, both the employer and the prospective employee automatically receive notifications at each step in the process, including when action is required. This keeps things moving and keeps the candidate engaged, so talent doesn’t lose interest and head to a competitor.
With our single software, no one has to re-enter data. When a candidate is hired, one click takes the information from their application and flows it systemwide. HR never has to type that data. And since no one knows an employee’s information better than the employee, rest assured that data is accurate. A streamlined and automated recruiting process not only helps hunt for top talent but also improves efficiency, fosters greater candidate outreach, enhances the candidate experience and even helps boost the bottom line.

With our single software, employees and HR don’t have to worry about data reentry and accuracy. Once a candidate is hired, their information autopopulates systemwide, saving HR the hassles and headaches of ensuring employee data is correct. From hiring to retirement, this information stays with the employee and allows for better integration between our different tools, such as Tax Credits and Employee Self-Service®.
