description: Accurate Background is an employment background screening and workforce
  compliance company. Its Accurate API (v3) lets HR platforms, ATS/HRIS vendors, and
  staffing tools embed background checks - criminal searches, SSN trace, employment
  and education verification, drug and health screening, driving records,
  identity/work authorization (Form I-9, E-Verify), and international screening -
  directly into their own applications. Integrators create candidates, order preset
  or custom screening packages, track order status and ETA, retrieve completed
  reports, adjudicate results, and receive status updates via webhooks. A free
  developer account and sandbox environment are available for testing; production
  access is provisioned under a screening services agreement.

    Webhook event notifications configured in the Accurate developer portal deliver order and report status
    updates (for example when an order completes) to a consumer-hosted HTTPS endpoint, so integrators
    do not have to poll for status. Server-to-endpoint HTTP callbacks, configured per environment (sandbox
    and production).
