Greenhouse only knows its half.

Greenhouse tracks ats, but can't see track status. So what you read there is already partial.

AshbyGreenhouse

The Ashby side stays separate.

Track status from Ashby sits in its own tab while Greenhouse carries ats. Nobody joins them.

How do I trust the hiring decision?

Background Check cites a source per line. ATS from Greenhouse, the rest from Ashby. So any figure traces back.

Is ATS stored anywhere by Background Check?

No, background check reads ATS, Background Check Providers (Checkr, Sterling), HRIS, Compliance Systems live through the connectors and returns the worklist; nothing persists outside Greenhouse and Ashby.

What if a role shows up in two of Greenhouse and Ashby?

The shared key de-dupes it. Background check keeps one role with ATS merged across sources.

Does Background Check replace Greenhouse?

Your people ops data already lives in Ashby / Greenhouse. Let background check use it.
