# How do I create a check?


Ordering a background check in Right Person is simple and flexible. You can choose from predefined packages or individual checks, depending on how thorough the evaluation needs to be for the role.


## Step-by-step: How to order

### 1. Log in and start from the homepage

Go to [rightperson.com](https://rightperson.com/) and log in to your account.

After logging in, you’ll land on the homepage.  Click **"Create"** in the main menu, or use the **"Order check"** shortcut to start a new background check.

### 2. Choose the right type of check

You’ll be presented with two main options: **Packages** and **Individual checks**.

Packages are designed to match different levels of responsibility. This makes it easy to order several relevant checks at once.

| Package | Description |
| ---- |
| **Basic** | The minimum level all employers should require. Includes: ID check, education, and employment verification. |
| **Standard** | Suitable for most roles. Includes everything in the Basic package, plus search in open sources and business interests |
| **Extended** | For highly trusted roles. Includes everything in the Standard package, plus a credit check, specific source search and country affiliation check |

📌 **Rule of thumb**: The more responsibility the role involves, the more thorough the check should be.

You can also choose **individual checks**, such as ID verification or a police certificate — useful when you only need to check one specific factor.



### 3. Add candidates

Once you've chosen the type of check, enter the details for the candidates.  
You can:

* Add candidates one by one manually  
* Or upload many at once using Excel import (template available in the portal)  

Make sure to include the **full name and email address** of each candidate.  This is required to send out the invitation.


### 4. Customize your order

Before submitting, you’ll have a chance to specify any relevant details:  
For example, if you're verifying education, you can indicate which degree or institution to focus on.  
You may also add any other notes relevant to the check.

> This helps us carry out the process as accurately and efficiently as possible.


### 5. Review and submit

In the final step, you’ll see a summary of your order:  
You’ll be able to review the selected checks, the entered information, and edit the message that will be included in the invitation to the candidate.

When everything looks good, click **"Confirm and Send"**.  
The invitation will be sent to the candidates  and you’re done!

### 6. We’ll handle the rest

Once the invitation is sent:

* The candidate receives an email and logs into the Right Person portal

* You can track the progress directly in the portal
