Reference Services

Each of our customers has a different approach to candidate vetting and reference checking. Some prefer to conduct the procedure in house while others prefer Bid Solutions to undertake the activity. Whatever your approach, comprehensive vetting will no doubt be near the top of your recruitment priorities. Candidate reference checking is a very sensitive, confidential, and in many cases regulatory process.

Whilst Bid Solutions offers various less comprehensive levels of checking, we recommend a comprehensive, Security Benchmarked checking for all candidates. However, as highlighted below by the list of verification details the candidates are required to produce, some employers find this unnecessary.

The standard vetting service we offer to British Standard 7858:2004 includes:

• Current address verification (5 year history)
• Criminal Record Bureau check
• Credit Check - County Court Judgement, Insolvency, Bankruptcy
• Professional Qualification Verification
• Directorship search
• Written 10 year previous employment verification
• 2 written personal references
