Background Check Provider Verified Credentials Announces New HR-XML Ready Technology

Lakeville, Minn. — (February 2007) — Businesses conducting background screening programs now have a simpler option for sending orders, receiving reports and obtaining status updates. Verified Credentials, a premier provider of background checks, announces new HR-XML Ready technology that provides more streamlined communications between companies and the vendor.

HR-XML Ready technology allows Verified Credentials interfacing opportunities with HRIS systems. The electronic data exchange eliminates double entry of candidate information, saving businesses valuable time and resources. The candidate’s credentials provided in an order request are entered directly from a candidate’s application or the candidate manually enters them. This information is seamlessly transferred between a company’s HRIS system with the Verified Credentials ordering application. Because of the source of a candidate’s information, the accuracy of the order submitted and the report delivered is notably increased.

The time-saving features of HR-XML Ready interfacing include its important capabilities for handling the raw data. As status updates occur for an order, they can be sent immediately to the company’s HRIS system. The flexibility of HR-XML also permits customizable data fields, seamlessly transferring the information released into fields defined according to company specifications.

At the website technology teams may explore HR-XML code documentation, implementation guides and other supportive information.
