Integrations: Teamtailor

Simplify background checks with the Teamtailor × Right Person integration

With the Right Person integration, you can launch background checks directly from Teamtailor without leaving your recruitment workflow. Automating this step saves time, minimizes manual work, and helps your team move candidates through the hiring process more efficiently.

Getting started

Before you can start sending candidates to Right Person, you'll need to activate the integration in Teamtailor.

Go to Marketplace → Right Person and click Activate.

Once the integration with Right Person is activated, you'll be redirected to the Marketplace activations → Right Person

Please copy the Integration Key.

Please copy the Integration Key and provide it to your Right Person Account Manager, who will enable the integration on the Right Person side.

Automatically send candidates to Right Person

The easiest way to use the integration is by adding a Trigger to your recruitment process.
Choose the stage where you want background checks to begin—for example, after the final interview or before making an offer.
To add the trigger:

Open your recruitment process.
Select the stage where the background check should start.
Click the Triggers (magic wand) icon.

Choose Add Trigger.
Select Right Person and save the configuration.

From that point on, every candidate who reaches this stage will automatically be sent to Right Person.

Automatically move candidates after the check

You can also automate what happens after the background check is completed.

Enable Move candidate when complete and select the next stage in your recruitment pipeline.

Once Right Person finishes processing the background check, Teamtailor will automatically advance the candidate, keeping your recruitment flow moving without any manual updates.

💡 Tip: Create a dedicated stage such as Background Check Complete to clearly track candidates who are ready for the next step.

Send a candidate manually

Need to initiate a background check outside of your automated workflow? No problem.

Open the candidate profile, click the three-dot menu, select Integrations, and choose Right Person.

The request will be sent immediately. If the integration status doesn't update straight away, refresh the candidate page.

How the integration works

After the integration has been configured, Teamtailor and Right Person work together to keep your background check process simple and connected.

Step 1: Candidate information is transferred

When a trigger is activated—or when you send a candidate manually—Teamtailor securely transfers the candidate's information to Right Person.
To successfully create a request, make sure the candidate profile contains:

First name
Last name
Email address

If any required information is missing, Teamtailor will notify you so you can update the profile before trying again.

Step 2: Background check is initiated

After the candidate has been received in Right Person, you can review the request and initiate the appropriate background check.
While the screening is in progress, the integration status in Teamtailor is displayed as Pending, allowing recruiters to monitor progress without switching between systems.

When the background check has been completed, the status automatically changes to Completed and you will receive the Final report from Right Person.

That's it! Your hiring team can continue working in Teamtailor while Right Person takes care of the background screening behind the scenes.
