Order screening, sync your people, and trigger checks on hire — right from the systems your team already lives in.
NCS Workforce integrations connect screening to your applicant tracking system, your HRIS or HCM, and your payroll — so you can order a background check, keep candidate and employee records in sync, and kick off a check the moment someone's hired, all without copying data from one tool to another. No double entry. No tab-switching. Just screening that happens where you already work.
And like everything we do, it's backed by real people. When you have a question about a connection or a result, you'll quickly reach a live person in our office — because behind every great hire, there should be people who care.

Screening That Lives Where You Work
Most teams don't want another login. They want screening to show up inside the tools they already use every day. That's the whole point of NCS Workforce integrations: bring background checks to your hiring and HR workflow instead of pulling your team out of it.
Connect once, and you can launch a check from a candidate's record, watch the status come back where you expect it, and keep everyone's information consistent across systems. Less manual work, fewer errors, and a faster path from offer to start date.
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
Hire from your ATS? Order screening there too. When NCS Workforce is connected to your applicant tracking system, you can request a background check from a candidate's profile, then see results land back in the same place — so recruiters never have to leave their workflow to move a candidate forward.
We connect with the leading applicant tracking systems, including:
- Greenhouse
- Lever
- Ashby
- iCIMS
- SmartRecruiters
- Workable
- JazzHR
- Workday Recruiting
HRIS & HCM
Your HRIS or HCM is the system of record for your people. Connecting it to NCS Workforce keeps employee data in sync and makes it easy to trigger screening tied to a new hire or a role change — without re-keying names, dates, or details that already live in your system.
We connect with widely used HRIS and HCM platforms, including:
- Workday
- BambooHR
- ADP Workforce Now
- UKG
- Rippling
- Paylocity
- Namely
- Gusto
Payroll
When a new hire flows through your payroll system, screening can flow right along with it. Connecting payroll helps you trigger checks at the right moment and keep employee records aligned, so onboarding and screening stay in step instead of living in separate worlds.
We connect with common payroll platforms, including:
- ADP
- Gusto
- Paychex
What You Get From Connecting
Integrations aren't about technology for its own sake — they're about saving your team time and removing the spots where things slip. With NCS Workforce connected to your stack, you get:
- One-click ordering from your ATS. Launch a background check right from a candidate's record, no separate portal required.
- Auto-sync of candidate and employee data. Pull the details you've already entered, so there's no double entry and fewer typos.
- Trigger checks on hire. Set screening to kick off automatically at the moment someone's hired or moved into a role that requires it.
- Results where you already work. Status and outcomes show up in the tools your team uses, not buried in a separate inbox.
The result is screening that feels like a built-in part of how you already hire — fast, consistent, and easy to keep compliant.
How Hailey Fits In
Connecting your systems takes care of the data. Hailey takes care of the questions. Hailey is a full, conversational AI HR assistant that lives right inside your NCS Workforce command center — not a behind-the-scenes algorithm you never see.
As checks flow in from your ATS, HRIS, or payroll, you can ask Hailey to help you understand a result, figure out which package fits a role, or guide an applicant through the next step — all in plain language, right where the work is happening. And when you'd rather talk to a person, our team is always a call away.
Meet her on the Hailey page, or log in to your command center at mycommandcenter.com.
Don't See Your System? Just Ask.
Our connector list keeps growing, and we'd rather build the connection you need than leave you doing manual work. If the ATS, HRIS, HCM, or payroll system you use isn't listed above, tell us — we add connectors based on what our customers actually use.
So before you assume it won't work with your stack, ask. There's a good chance we already connect with it, and if we don't yet, we'll talk through the best way to fit screening into your workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can NCS Workforce integrate with?
We connect with the applicant tracking systems, HRIS/HCM platforms, and payroll systems most employers already use — names like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Workday, BambooHR, ADP Workforce Now, UKG, Rippling, Gusto, and Paychex, among others. If you don't see yours, ask — we add connectors based on what customers use.
Do integrations let me order checks without leaving my ATS?
Yes. Once connected, you can launch a background check right from a candidate's record in your ATS, and results come back where you expect them — so your team doesn't have to switch to a separate portal.
Can a background check trigger automatically when someone is hired?
It can. With your HRIS or payroll connected, screening can be set to kick off at the moment a candidate is hired or moves into a role that requires a check — no manual step needed.
What if my system isn't on the list?
Just ask. Our connector list keeps growing, and we add integrations based on what our customers actually use. Tell us what you run and we'll find the best way to fit screening into your workflow.
Is screening still compliant when it runs through an integration?
Yes. However a check is initiated, it follows the same FCRA-compliant consent, disclosure, and adverse-action steps as any NCS Workforce screen. And our team is here to help with compliance questions whenever they come up.
Can I talk to a real person about connecting my tools?
Always. When you call, you'll quickly reach a live person in our office during business hours — not a bot or a queue. You're the priority.
