FAQs
-
Conducting right to work checks is a legal requirement for all UK employers. However, employers in highly regulated industries are often required to carry out more thorough vetting.
Industries such as health and social care, education and childcare, financial services, government, and national security are typically required to conduct sector-specific checks to verify aspects of a candidate’s background before employment.
-
The time it takes to complete a background check depends on the type of screening required. Many simple checks, such as digital ID verification, can be completed in minutes, and right to work checks can often be completed on the same day.
Choosing an efficient pre-employment screening solution, such as MHR powered by Rightcheck, can help you complete background checks faster while maintaining compliance with UK employment law and industry regulations.
-
Yes. When using a pre-employment screening solution, personal information should be handled with the highest level of care, with robust security measures in place to protect the data of both employers and job candidates throughout the screening process.
Background checks involve sensitive personal information, including identity documents, employment history, education records and, where applicable, criminal record information. This is why choosing a trusted, established screening provider is essential.
-
The cost of a background check depends on the type of checks required. Different checks may require access to different data sources, which can affect the overall cost.
