Disabling Checkr can be done by an account administrator. After logging in to your KeldairHR account, select Marketplace > Background Checks from the menu. Click Learn More on the Checkr card to open the settings. Use the toggle switch to move the integration from Active to Inactive. Any authorizations or background checks that are outstanding will be returned to the Checkr system; however, results will no longer feed into your hiring system automatically.
