Oracle Recruiting Cloud Background Check is a feature within Oracle’s Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) suite, specifically within the Oracle Recruiting Cloud (ORC) solution. It is designed to streamline the process of conducting background checks on potential hires directly within the recruitment workflow.

Here’s a brief overview of what it typically involves:

1. Integration with Background Check Vendors: Oracle Recruiting Cloud can integrate with third-party background check service providers. This integration allows recruiters to initiate background checks on candidates without leaving the Oracle system.

2. Candidate Consent and Information Collection: As part of the process, candidates can be prompted to provide consent and submit necessary personal information required for the background check directly through the portal.

3. Automated Background Check Initiation: Once the candidate provides consent and their information, the system can automatically initiate the background check with the chosen vendor.

4. Tracking and Updates: Recruiters can track the status of background checks within Oracle Recruiting Cloud and receive updates when the checks are completed.

5. Centralized Reporting: Completed background check reports can be reviewed within the ORC, allowing for a centralized view of the candidate’s background information in the context of the hiring process.

6. Compliance: The feature is designed to help organizations comply with various legal and regulatory requirements that may govern the hiring process, including background checks.

It’s important to note that while Oracle Recruiting Cloud facilitates these background checks, the actual investigation is performed by external agencies, and the thoroughness and scope of the background check would depend on the service level agreed upon with the vendor.

For those using Oracle Recruiting Cloud, setting up and using the Background Check feature would involve configuring the integration with the vendor, establishing workflows for consent and information collection, and determining how background check data will be used and stored in compliance with privacy laws and regulations.
