Are you in the process of hiring someone who\u2019s only recently moved to your area? Maybe you\u2019re wondering how you should go about screening them. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 we’ve got answers for you!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But firstly, let\u2019s clarify \u2013 why should you conduct screening?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Screen? <\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The answer is to protect your organisation, staff and clientele from risk \u2013 financial, physical and reputational. In addition to this, background checks can help you avoid the cost of a bad hire; the time wasted hiring\/training them, on top of the costs of finding and training a replacement. Should things go truly pear-shaped, having conducted pre-employment screening protects your company from negligent hiring lawsuits.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, back to your newly-arrived candidate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cross-Country Candidate <\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If they\u2019ve simply moved from another state or county, the process is much the same as it would be for a local applicant. National police checks<\/a>, or DBS checks<\/a>, are a typical requirement for roles requiring clearance, including positions working with vulnerable adults or children. In such roles, safeguarding is paramount, so a nationwide check is standard.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One important thing to note is that the level to which you screen should be relevant to the position you\u2019re looking to fill. You also need to screen all candidates for the position equally.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The International Candidate <\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If your candidate has recently moved from overseas, you\u2019ll likely need to run a national police check for compliance. Our police checks generally go back five to seven years (though Standard and Enhanced DBS checks all spent\/unspent convictions), and the screening report includes any disclosable outcomes recorded during that time.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, that’s all well and good for candidates who\u2019ve been local for a while, but you might feel that this isn\u2019t going to provide you with a very large picture if they\u2019ve only just arrived in the country. You could consider running a police check in the country they resided in previously. This will enable you to ensure any criminal history\/offences they may have had in the past seven years is identified, so you can avoid putting your company, and people, at risk.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news! Vetting.com offers International Police<\/a> checks! Whether they\u2019ve come from Australasia, the UK, Europe, North America or elsewhere, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
More checks <\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, our Reference Checks<\/a> are global! Your candidate can list a referee from anywhere in the world, and the referee can complete the brief online form from anywhere, on any device. Many of our clients package a Reference Check with the Police Check, so they can assign both in one click.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want even more good news? Our Qualifications Checks<\/a> are also global! We\u2019ll verify your candidate\u2019s credentials, for example a medical degree, no matter where they graduated from \u2013 we check qualifications from over 190 countries and 40,000 institutions.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you\u2019re hiring a trustworthy candidate, whether they\u2019ve just arrived or not, by conducting thorough pre-employment checks. If you\u2019re looking to simplify your screening process, contact Vetting.com<\/a> today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
