Profile status notification has been available in Gateway Web Services for over six months now. The initial release supported notifications when the Profile status changed to Completed or Cancelled. A description of how to use the Profile.NotificationRequest web service method can be found in the forums here.
Recently, we upgraded this service to notify a URL when the Profile goes from Draft to In Progress as well. I'm taking this opportunity to provide some ways that this can be used to improve and enhance your integration efforts.
- Cleaner Integration - If you have actions to take or updates to perform in another system when the status changes, your system will be able to respond at the correct time without needing to parse through detailed status information or lists of Profiles to determine when to take action.
- Reduced Load &/or Number of Calls - We all know that the more calls your system needs to make to external systems, like ClearStar.net, the greater the load will be on both systems and the more potential points of failure the integration process will have. Instead of making frequent calls to retrieve status information to give the appearance of "real-time" updates, you can let the notification service let your system know immediately when the status changes.
- Faster Process - Your process is currently limited by how often you want to (or can) call for status updates and process them. The notification service can let you system know when a Profile has changed status so you can take action immediately.

ClearStar, a leading background screening technology and service provider, announced today the release of ScreenMeNow, a customizable direct applicant data entry interface. This solution comes in response to the increased demand for cost effective human resources solutions.
ScreenMeNow provides a simple, intuitive interface for direct applicant entry of data required for the initiation of a background check. This functionality increases operating efficiencies for an employer by eliminating redundant data entry and decreasing the turnaround time of a background check.
