EmployeeScreenIQ Partners with Newton to Integrate Paperless Background Checks

EmployeeScreenIQ, a global provider of employee background screening services, and Newton, developer of a leading applicant tracking system (ATS) for small and medium-sized employers, have partnered to provide customers with fully integrated, paperless employment background checks.

Designed to save time on repetitive tasks, increase productivity and promote security, the Newton applicant tracking system seamlessly integrates with EmployeeScreenIQ’s premium employee background check platform to offer a simple, smart, safe and stable pre-employment screening and applicant tracking process.

“Employers are busier than ever,” said Joel Cheesman, director of strategic alliances at EmployeeScreenIQ. “This integration makes life a lot easier by stripping away the hoops companies traditionally jump through in the background screening process.”

Significant customer benefits include:

• One-click background check requests.

• Real-time background check dashboard.

• Fully-branded applicant self-service portals to collect release signatures and sensitive, personally identifiable information.

• Integrated auto-updates on background check status for each applicant.

Joel Passen, Newton Software’s head of marketing, commented “By partnering with a few select partners like EmployeeScreenIQ that have the technical abilities and same philosophy on customer service as we do at Newton, we’re able to provide our mutual clients with rock solid technology and a great all-around customer experience.”
