Hire & Onboard Great Talent with Justworks: Find & Track Candidates, Order Background Checks, Manage IT Provisioning

Many growing businesses face similar hiring and onboarding challenges: candidate notes scattered across emails, background check statuses living in spreadsheets, IT onboarding tasks on a checklist nobody remembers. For small teams, this manual work eats time, creates mental load, and it’s easy for important steps to slip through the cracks.

Justworks has evolved to meet more types of small businesses earlier in their journeys. 

“Justworks removes those back-office admin headaches that can hinder growing organizations,” said Julia D’Amico, VP of Product at Justworks. “As our platform and partnerships expand, we’re making it even easier for our customers to hire and onboard great talent to help supercharge and scale their businesses.” 

Justworks’ new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) centralizes the hiring pipeline in one place. From job posting, and candidate tracking, to seamless onboarding transitions, small business leaders can identify, hire, and onboard the best candidates right in the Justworks platform. When a candidate becomes an employee, they automatically flow into employee records in Justworks without manual data entry or having to start from scratch. 

At that stage, many companies might require a background check. Justworks has built an integration with Checkr(opens in a new tab), an AI-powered verification platform, removing another manual handoff during the hiring process. Teams can now order and track background checks directly within Justworks without switching to another portal, or waiting for email results. Once a check clears, the candidate can easily move into the onboarding flow with just one click.

“Small teams shouldn’t have to choose between hiring fast and hiring safely,” said Checkr’s VP of Product Management, Amit Fernandes. “This integration helps remove a major bottleneck from the hiring journey so leaders can make confident decisions without the stress of figuring out how to facilitate background checks and verification themselves.”

The candidate passed their background check and now it’s time to ship them a laptop before their start date. Justworks partners with Electric.ai(opens in a new tab) to automate IT provisioning and make new hire onboarding seamless: one flow to order and secure a laptop, provision software licenses, and set up email. Employee data syncs quickly from Justworks to Electric.ai(opens in a new tab) so nothing falls through the cracks, leaders get fewer manual requests, and new hires are productive from day one.

By integrating hiring, background checks, and IT onboarding into one platform, Justworks is empowering small teams to hire faster, onboard with confidence, and spend less time on the busywork that used to slow them down.
