1 <p>At Universal Background Screening, we know that hiring teams today need more than a vendor. They need a partner that continuously improves, anticipates compliance changes, and builds tools that make screening smoother for both employers and candidates. That’s why our product and engineering teams deliver enhancements designed to reduce friction, strengthen compliance, and streamline workflows across the platforms your teams already use.</p>

2 <p>Below is a summary of the latest updates across<a>Background Screening</a>, ATS Integrations, and UHealth services. All of these features are available now or rolling out shortly for UBS clients:</p>

3 <h3><strong>Enhanced ATS Integrations for Faster Hiring</strong></h3>

4 <h4><strong>Bullhorn: eForms Ordering Now Available</strong></h4>

5 <p>For organizations using<a>Bullhorn</a>, ordering eForms just became dramatically easier. You can now initiate eForms directly inside Bullhorn, eliminating manual steps and reducing time-to-order.</p>

9 <h4><strong>Automatic Capture of Candidate Sex (When Required)</strong></h4>

10 <p>Certain states (including Illinois, Indiana, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Georgia) require the collection of a candidate’s sex to complete<a>specific background screening searches</a>. UBS now automatically collects this field when applicable.</p>

13 <h3><strong>No SSN Required for International Screening</strong></h3>

14 <p>For employers onboarding global candidates, UBS now offers an “I do not have a U.S. Social Security Number” option on international orders.</p>

15 <p>This prevents incorrect SSN submissions, removes friction for international employees, and reduces candidate confusion.</p>

16 <p><strong>Availability:</strong>General Availability.</p>

17 <h3><strong>Strengthened FCRA<a>Compliance</a>Built Into Your Workflow</strong></h3>

18 <h4><strong>Static Link Permissible Purpose Logging</strong></h4>

21 <p><strong>Availability:</strong>General Availability.</p>

22 <h3><strong>Operational Updates to Improve Efficiency</strong></h3>

25 <p><strong>Availability:</strong>Limited Availability for UHealth clients.</p>

26 <h3><strong>New Enhancements Released November 2025</strong></h3>

27 <h4><strong>Unified Ordering for UHealth +<a>Background Checks</a></strong></h4>

28 <p>Clients enabled with UHealth can now order background checks and UHealth services in a single order. This simplifies workflows and reduces the chance of missed steps.</p>

29 <p>You’ll experience fewer logins, fewer clicks, and a single, unified order process. This is ideal for<a>healthcare employers onboarding staff quickly</a>.</p>

30 <p><strong>Availability:</strong>Limited Availability for UHealth-enabled clients.</p>

31 <h4><strong>SMS Notifications for Direct eForms (ATS Integrations)</strong></h4>

32 <p>Candidates now automatically receive SMS notifications when a background check is launched from ATS systems such as<a>Workday</a>,<a>SuccessFactors</a>, and others.</p>

33 <p>This results in faster candidate response times, better completion rates, and an improved mobile-first candidate experience.</p>

34 <p><strong>Availability:</strong>Limited Availability; fully enabled by default once activated.</p>

35 <h4><strong>Enhanced eForms 9 Customization</strong></h4>

36 <p>For clients needing specialized disclosures or authorization language (like highly regulated industries), UBS now supports custom documents and language in eForms 9, including the Davidson Post Conviction Form.</p>

37 <p>You get full customization for compliance and branding, plus a consistent experience across updated eForms workflows.</p>

38 <p><strong>Availability:</strong>General Availability.</p>

39 <h4><strong>Compliance Enhancements That Keep You Ahead of Regulations</strong></h4>

44 <h4><strong>PAA Updates & Pricing Adjustments</strong></h4>

45 <p>Email delivery of Pre-Adverse Action (PAA) letters is now restricted to orders placed via eForms. Pricing updates for mailed services will go into effect on November 19, 2025 as this feature expands toward General Availability.</p>
