The path from account to decision

One sequence: set up, invite, consent, report, then either proceed or follow adverse action.

A small employer can run this product without a compliance department, and can still miss the order of the steps. This lesson is educational and is not legal advice. The path is: company and location, an order that invites the candidate, the candidate's disclosure and authorization, a report from ScreenForge Labs, and then your decision. If you might not hire because of the report, the adverse-action steps come before the rejection. The legal courses that cite the statutes are on the hub.

Not a license

PreHireBadge Academy courses are free and educational. Completing a course or earning a certificate is not legal advice, not a professional license, and not a legal credential. Laws change. Read the cited sources and ask a qualified attorney about your own hiring decision.
Invite Consent Report
You invite. The candidate consents and provides identifiers. Then the report can be ordered.
