Checkr.js

Checkr.js makes it easy to collect sensitive personal data without having the information touch your server.

Including Checkr.js

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://js.checkr.com/checkr-2.0.0.min.js"></script>

Setting your publishable key

You have to set your publishable key so that Checkr can identify your website. You can retrieve your publishable key for test and production in your dashboard.

Checkr.setPublishableKey('YOUR_KEY_HERE');

Creating a candidate

var candidateData = {
  first_name: 'John',
  middle_name: 'Peter',
  last_name: 'Smith',
  ssn: '111-11-1111',
  email: 'john@smith.org',
  phone: '(310) 111-1111',
  dob: '10/02/1987'
};

Checkr.candidate.create(candidateData, function (status, response) {
  console.log("status: " + status);

  if (response.error) {
    var errorMessage = response.error;
    console.log(errorMessage);

    // your logic
  } else {
    var candidate_id = response.candidate_id;

    // your logic
  }
});
