2018

We would like to bring the following changes to our international product offering to your attention.

British Virgin Islands Criminal Check: A new instruction is in place to reflect simplified requirements.
Spain Criminal Check: Costa Rica Judicial Registry of the Executive Directorate of the Judiciary have slightly changed the application forms and will no longer accept the old forms. The new application forms are now in place to reflect this change.
Chile Directorship Check: A new instruction is in place to reflect a change in scope of this service and requirements. Going forward, this search will cover current directorships and current and past shareholdings. Historic directorship information is no longer available. 
France Criminal Check: A new instruction is in place to reflect the requirement to provide the candidate’s current address of residence.
​Ireland Criminal Record Check: We are no longer offering a criminal records check from Garda Síochána. The check that was designed to screen individuals for positions through which they have unsupervised access to children and/or vulnerable adults is now only available to organizations with a registered office in the Republic of Ireland.

If you would like us to send you current documentation for any of the checks listed, please request via  service@verifile.co.uk.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) Northern Ireland have issued new consent forms for driving licence checks. The new forms will be provided to candidates from this week.

If you have a custom version of the old DVLA form (D796) that includes your organisation name, please replace this with the new copy which we will send to you in the coming days. The new forms can be used straight away. The old forms will no longer be accepted from 26 August 2018 onwards.

Candidate experience is very important, and 70% of organisations that invest in candidate experience improve the quality of their hires according to a recent Glassdoor report '50 HR and Recruiting Statistics for 2017'.
 

So what can HR professionals do to maximise candidate experience?

• Candidate software should be modern and trustworthy
• Candidate content should showcase 'the real people behind the story'
• Video content is key

A negative experience during the application process can turn off top candidates and may ruin the employer brand.  Employers must focus on ensuring a great candidate experience.

Key to this is selecting the right screening partner. It is evident that HR departments must invest in the candidate experience but do you have the time to do so? We do! We manage the process on your behalf saving you time and ensuring your candidates' experience is a good one.
