This feature allows information to be passed from Cyber Recruiter to Employment Background Investigation (EBI) to initiate a background request.
Before you can send applicant information to EBI, the functionality must be enabled in Cyber Recruiter Admin first and information issues by EBI will be needed. By default, EBI is not enabled. In order to turn this feature on, login as a user with admin rights to the page specified above.
Before setting up the integration to EBI, if motor vehicle checks will be performed, be sure to set a miscellaneous field in the Applicant file where this information will be stored. The setup of the EBI integration allows for mapping of this information but the field must first be defined.

User Access
User accounts should be added for anyone doing a submission to EBI.
- If your EBI account has only ONE log-in to EBI system, each record in Cyber Recruiter will have the same User Name and Password combination and the mapping to the Cyber Recruiter user is only used to provide access to the EBI page in the applicant record.
- If your EBI account has more than one log-in to the EBI system, the User Name and Password will be unique to the Cyber Recruiter login. In this case the mapping will allow for access to the EBI page in the applicant record AND will track the submission and package options in the EBI system.
Press the 'Add new record' link to add new users who will be able to submit background checks for EBI. Once a user has been added, press the  to make a change to the record or the  to remove the record from the list of approved users.
