The role of managers in recruitment

November 18, 2019

Recruiting managers can now directly provide successful applicants with a firm written employment offer via a template which will be provided by the recruitment team.

The recruiting manager is required to provide a completed candidate checklist to the recruitment team in order to initiate pre-employment checks. This will commence immediately upon receipt of electronic copies of photographic identification (ID) from the recruiting manager which could take the form of a digital image taken during the interview process on a trust smartphone. In circumstances where a candidate has not provided photo ID on the day of assessment, the recruiting manager will need to inform the recruitment team who will then make contact with the candidate directly.

Pre-employment checks:

The recruitment team will undertake the following six pre-employment checks for new joiners to the Trust.

1. Verification of identity check
2. Employment history/reference checks
3. Professional registration and qualfiication check
4. Right to work check
5. Criminal record check (DBS)
6. Work health assessment

Recruitment office opening times:

The recruitment office can be contacted on 0121 507 5070 or at swb-tr.SWBH-Team-Recruitment@nhs.net.
