After a records-found report, an owner or admin can proceed or start the adverse-action steps.

Who it is for. Owners and admins who can open the report.

  1. Open the report from the dashboard.
  2. Choose Proceed if you will continue with the candidate. That does not open a case.
  3. Choose Consider adverse action if you may decide against the candidate based on the report.
  4. Complete the assessment, send the pre-adverse notice, wait, then send the final notice only when the page allows it.
The report and these buttons never say hire, do not hire, pass, or fail.
Proceed or consider adverse action on a records-found report.
