Checkr Hierarchy (Enabled by request) API is one of 56 APIs that [Checkr](https://apis.io/providers/checkr/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Hierarchy (Enabled by request). The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

Use the Hierarchy endpoint to structure your Account as a grouping of individual entities (Nodes) that represent your business with respect to your hiring and background check needs. The parent-child relationship of Nodes may then be used to manage the relationship of your Packages and other account settings to Users and Candidates within your Account. Once defined, use the Checkr Dashboard to assign Nodes to Users, Packages, your Positive Adjudication Matrix, and other aspects of your Checkr Account. Specifying a unique ID (custom_id) for each Node in the hierarchy allows you to edit the structure of your hierarchy without dissociating any Packages, PAMs, or Users assigned directly to the individual nodes. As nodes are moved to different locations within the hierarchy they will inherit Packages or PAMs from their new parent that may differ from the last, but Packages assigned directly to the node will not change.
