Once the screening starts, the file will be assigned to a screener who will contact the candidate and advise them of any documentation required.
Please inform your candidates that cooperation with our screening team will ensure their screening is completed quickly and efficiently, preventing any delays in starting their employment.
If a previous employment does not respond to our reference requests or the company no longer exists, we will require the candidate to provide documentation to cover the employment instead. The most comprehensive document we can use is their 5-Year Employment History from HMRC. If they have not provided this, or if the full employment dates are not recorded on this statement, other examples of documents we can accept are as follows:
- Bank statements showing payments from the company
- Payslips
- P60s or P45s
- Contract of employment
- Redundancy/dismissal letter
NOTE: We require documents to cover the start, middle and end of each employment. We will need two types of documents if the employment is for the full five years.
If they can only provide one type of document, then we will need to cover every month. For example, if they can only provide payslips, then we will need a payslip for every month of employment, not just the start and end.
