Vetting and screening can ensure the safety of the workplace, protect vulnerable people within that workplace, and help to protect a company&rsquo;s reputation. It can help eliminate potential candidates from the recruitment process that are not suitable, ensure candidates have all the requisites needed from the start, prevent time wasting, and reduce risk. <span class="EOP SCXW204477585 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

Why is vetting and screening important in workforce management? 

The checks carried out during vetting and screening will vary depending on the company, the role, and the workplace. These checks can include, but are not limited to, identity verification, qualification checks, checking references, ensuring right to work and criminal records.<span class="EOP SCXW161847846 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

What checks are carried out during vetting and screening? 

Employers should establish a consistant and standardised vetting and screening criteria, train staff on this process, and avoid discriminatory practices. Regular reviews can help identify and address any bias. Many companies use vetting and screening providers to mitigate risk and ensure compliance.<span class="EOP SCXW56410511 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

How do you ensure a fair and unbiased vetting and screening process? 

Pre-employment checks are a vital part of the recruitment process for almost all employers. By verifying the background and credentials of a potential employee, hirers can ensure applicants are not only legally able to move into a particular role, but also they are likely to be a great fit for the position and wider organisation.&nbsp; &nbsp; These checks may include, but are not exclusive to, criminal record checks, qualification verification, and confirming the applicant has a right to work in the country of employment.&nbsp; In recent years, rapid technological advancements have impacted candidate vetting and screening significantly, making it easier for employers to verify the identity and credentials of applicants remotely &ndash; however managing pre-employment checks effectively can still be a challenge for many businesses.

What does vetting and screening cover?

Candidate vetting is the practice of checking, through third-party verification, whether the information a candidate supplies during the recruitment process is correct. The law requires employers to suitably vet potential recruits to ensure they have not provided false information and that they are eligible for the role they have applied for.&nbsp;
All organisations have a legal duty to prevent illegal working by carrying out right-to-work checks to ensure prospective employees can legally work for the organisation.

What is vetting?

Pre-employment screening is the wider process of making sure that applicants have the hard and soft skills, experience and values needed to perform well in their prospective future roles.
<a href="https://www.comensura.com/solutions/vetting-and-screening">Learn more about our screening solution</a>

What is screening?

From an employer&rsquo;s perspective, the vetting process should be considered from the earliest stages of the recruitment process, with the job description and person specification clearly outlining requirements. The job offer letter and terms and conditions of employment should also be drafted to include what checks will be undertaken. Thereafter, a vetting process will most likely include a &lsquo;right to work&rsquo; check and criminal record check, although the latter is often dependent on the sector, organisation, and specific role.

What is the vetting process?

As with vetting, screening should be built into the recruitment process from the beginning of the candidate journey. Every company will manage the screening process differently. For example, some may ask for references at the shortlist stage, while others will wait until a job offer has been made.&nbsp;
The screening process may include:
<ul>
<li>CV sifting to screen out unsuitable applicants</li>
<li>Telephone interviews</li>
<li>Further interviews &ndash; either face-to-face or online, one-to-one or panel style</li>
<li>Reference checks</li>
</ul>

What is the screening process?

Vetting process in Australia
Guidance on best practice vetting processes, the Australian Standard for Employment Screening (or AS 4811-2006), was published in 2006. While the standards are detailed in nature, they are broken down into three key areas:
<ul>
<li>Identify: Employers need to be able to verify physical identity and home address of an individual</li>
<li>Integrity: Prior work experience and referee integrity should be checked and police checks should be conducted</li>
<li>Credentials: Prior work experience, qualifications or professional memberships should be confirmed and references sought for prior positions.</li>
</ul>
Employers are required to undertake right to work checks to verify a person can legally work in Australia. Other vetting to ensure the &ldquo;eligibility and suitability&rdquo; of personnel is completed based on individual roles and business requirements. For example, Criminal Background checks &ndash; also referred to as Police Checks, National Police Clearance or National Police Certificates &ndash; are required for certain roles and employers. Checks are conducted through providers accredited by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission. These checks can also be carried out online to streamline the process, though in-person checks are also still utilised.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.comensura.com/solutions/vetting-and-screening">Learn more about our vetting solution in Australia</a>
Vetting process in the UK
From April 2022, right to work in the UK checks can now be carried out online permanently, following a temporary change in procedure in response to the pandemic. Holders of biometric residence permits are now only able to evidence their right to work using the Home Office online checking service. Those without biometric permits can still go through a manual system which includes presenting physical documents which are verified with copies stored and dated.
For criminal record checks, employers can apply though the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in England and Wales, Disclosure Scotland, or AccessNI in Northern Ireland. Applications can now be made online and must be countersigned. Some sectors and job roles, such as roles working with vulnerable adults within the care sector, will require organisations to carry out a criminal record check before employment can commence.
Some roles will include a medical questionnaire as part of the vetting process. However, employers should be mindful that the Equality Act 2010 prohibits asking health and disability-related questions without a valid reason. For example, to determine if the candidate can carry out a function that is intrinsic to the role or if they require reasonable adjustments to be made for them to do their job.

Direct Sourcing is ideal for companies that have repeatable hiring needs as they can find talent with the skills that they need, and who are engaged by the brand, much faster than starting from scratch. So, if a company knows that they will continually have a hiring need at set times for set roles such as seasonal staff or during busy periods, direct sourcing will set them up to avoid staff shortages and lengthy recruitment costs.<span class="EOP SCXW75062100 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

Why is direct sourcing good for repeatable hiring needs? 

Direct Sourcing means that you have a bank of talent already potentially interested in working for you and with the skills or experience needed, available to recruit from directly. This takes away the initial step of advertising a job and a company to suitable prospects, thus reducing the time to hire.<span class="EOP SCXW29951650 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

How does direct sourcing reduce time to hire? 

Success in direct sourcing can be measured with a range of factors, including time-to-hire, cost savings, quality of candidates and workers, and the overall efficiency of the hiring process. Regular evaluation and professional management will help you to measure as you go, and refine your strategy to build on success.<span class="EOP SCXW181075489 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

How do you measure the success of direct sourcing? 

Not only can direct sourcing save a company money when hiring talent, but it can also reduce time-to-hire, encourage faster and more effective onboarding, and create a more effective talent pooling of contingent candidates. They can also help to make a company an employer of choice, attracting the best talent based on employer brand and reputation.

What are the benefits of direct sourcing?

Our integrated approach to direct sourcing involves activating your EVP and employer brand to attract, curate and engage exclusive talent pools.

A talent pool usually refers to a database of potential candidates who possess specific skills or qualifications, with all the standard information such as CV and contact details. A talent bank takes it one step further, by actively engaging and nurturing individuals in this bank who share common attributes, interests, or connections, with the goal of keeping them interested in working for a company.<span class="EOP SCXW174276282 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;
</div>

What is the difference between a talent bank and a talent pool?

Talent bank means that you consistently have a source of interested and engaged talent that are already open to working for you, available to reach out to in times of skills shortages. There is no need to start from nothing trying to attract new candidates that need convincing of your worth as an employer, which increases the number of interested candidates in a much shorter period.

Does talent bank resolve skills shortages?

Talent banks can be industry specific or generic, depending on the businesses or organisation&rsquo;s needs. Some are tailored to specific sectors such as healthcare, facilities management, or construction. Others aim for a broader range of skills and backgrounds.<span class="EOP SCXW116935474 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

Are talent banks industry specific?

 It makes the whole hiring process faster by providing you with an easily accessible pool of candidates that are pre-qualified to possess the skills, attributes, and qualifications that you need.&nbsp;

Why use Talent Bank? 

A number of key benefits exist for using <a href="https://www.comensura.com/solutions/talent-bank">Talent Bank</a> for your organisation.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Cost savings: By maintaining a bank of talent, you can reduce the recruitment costs of advertising positions and filtering applications. HR professionals that would usually be taken up with these tasks are also free to take on more strategic roles and focus on growth and development.</li>
<li>Time savings: A readily available source of talent means that a hiring manager or HR can quickly fill vacant positions without waiting for new applications, and without reduction in productivity while waiting for a new worker to start.</li>
<li>A proactive approach to talent management: You can proactively manage your talent pipeline by identifying potential candidates or nurturing previous candidates or contingent workers, before specific and often reoccurring positions become available. This creates more organised and strategic workforce planning for now and the future.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Benefits of Talent Bank

To build a talent bank, you need to follow some steps:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Define your talent needs: Identify the roles and skills that are critical for your organisation, as well as the ones that are hard to fill or have high turnover rates. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Source your talent: Find potential candidates from sources such as your existing workforce, referrals, social media, job boards, or talent communities. Partnering with external agencies or platforms can make this a more time and cost effecting process.</li>
<li>Screen and assess your talent: Evaluate the candidates based on their suitability for your organisation and the roles you need. A third party can use technology and specialist knowledge to streamline some of these processes.</li>
<li>Engage and nurture your talent: Keep in touch with the candidates in your talent bank by providing them with relevant information about your organisation, for example using email or social media, to communicate with them and build rapport. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Hire and onboard your talent: When you have a vacancy, you can easily access your bank of talent and select the best candidates for the role. &nbsp;</li>

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW58602607 BCX0">
Payroll processing can be complex to manage because of the substantial number of varying factors and the amount of data involved as well as the knowledge needed in tax, national insurance, compliance, and employment legislation &ndash; which is frequently amended and updated. <span class="EOP SCXW58602607 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

Why is accurate payroll important? 

Why is it important? &nbsp;
Payroll is important for both employers and employees. For employers, it affects the cash flow, profitability, and the reputation of the business. Managing it in an accurate and punctual manner can help avoid penalties and avoid issues with employees. &nbsp;
Ensuring you are paying employees fairly, accurately, and consistently can also help attract, retain, and motivate workers. &nbsp;
How to do it? &nbsp;
There are different ways to do payroll, depending on the size, complexity, and preference of the business. &nbsp;
Some common methods are: &nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Manually in house, using spreadsheets, calculators, and tax tables&nbsp;</li>
<li>Using software in house, which automates the calculations</li>
<li>Outsourcing to a <a href="https://www.comensura.com/solutions/payroll">payroll solution provider</a>, who handles the entire process&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and the best option depends on the needs and budget of the business. &nbsp;
Why should you outsource payroll? &nbsp;
One reason to outsource is to save time and resources. Doing it manually or using software can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially for businesses with many employees, temporary workers or complex tax situations. &nbsp;
Outsourcing payroll can free up team members from calculations, filings, and compliance issues, and generate cost savings by enabling them to focus on the core aspects of the business. &nbsp;
A typical outsourced solution will cover:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Eligibility to work &ndash; satisfying regulatory and legislative demands as well as organisational needs and requirements</li>
<li>Professional, vocational and educational experience and qualifications</li>
<li>Personal details and professional references</li>
<li>Financial checks such as probity, credit referencing, bank account checks</li>
<li>Criminal record checks, aligned to country location</li>
<li>Industry-specific checks, to comply with certain standards or trade requirements</li>
<li>Database checks, such as driving licence checks or Disclosure Barring Service checks, for working with children or vulnerable adults</li>

A Statement of Work is usually drafted by the project manager and is most often the first formal documentation that a company will receive when bidding on the work, so it is vital that it contains all the key information including timescales, measurable outcomes, and specific requirements.

Who writes a Statement of Work?

All projects require a Statement of Work that is unique to the needs of the work, but in short it should include all the specifics of that engagement. Most Statement of Works will need to include the scope of work, the deliverables required, time and resources, payment terms, client services, and any relevant terms and conditions.

What should a Statement of Work include?

Yes, but a&nbsp;modifications should follow a formal change request process, and these changes will most likely impact timelines, costs, or other project elements. Documenting these changes ensures that transparency and accountability is maintained at all times.<span class="EOP SCXW257478425 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

Can a Statement of Work be modified during a project? 

A SoW typically includes the following 8 components:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Background: This section provides the context and background information of the project, such as the problem statement, the business need, the vision, and the goals</li>
<li>Scope: This section defines the specific scope of work that the contractor will perform, including the tasks, activities, deliverables, and milestones. It also outlines the exclusions, assumptions, and constraints that may affect the scope</li>
<li>Schedule: This section describes the timeline and schedule of the project, including start and end dates, deadlines, and dependencies. It also indicates the frequency and format of the progress reports and meetings</li>
<li>Budget: This section details the budget and payment terms of the project, including total cost, payment schedule, invoicing method, and acceptance criteria</li>
<li>Quality: This section defines the quality standards and requirements that the contractor must adhere to, such as the specifications, testing methods, quality assurance process, and quality control measures</li>
<li>Roles and Responsibilities: This section identifies the key stakeholders and their roles and responsibilities in the project, such as the project manager, project sponsor, project team, and project steering committee. It also clarifies the communication channels, escalation procedures, and decision-making authority</li>
<li>Risks and Issues: This section identifies the potential risks and issues that may arise during the project, such as the technical challenges, resource constraints, regulatory changes, and market fluctuations. It also describes the mitigation strategies, contingency plans, and risk management process</li>
<li>Terms and Conditions: This section specifies the legal and contractual terms and conditions that govern the project, such as the confidentiality clauses, intellectual property rights, liability limitations, and dispute resolution mechanisms&nbsp;</li>

A Vendor Neutral Service is an unbiased, neutral provider of your workforce. By using a vendor neutral service, you get access to the best candidates from every agency without being influenced by colleague relationships or preconceptions, without having to contact them yourselves.&nbsp;

What is a vendor neutral service?

MSP is short for Managed Service Provider and is where you outsource some or all your organisation&rsquo;s contingent recruitment to an external provider. An MSP solution can help your HR and talent acquisition departments find the best quality talent in the shortest possible time frame.

What is an MSP in recruitment? 

In a vendor neutral service, a vendor refers to a supplier or provider or goods or services. In the instance of recruitment, this might be a staffing or procurement agency.<span class="EOP SCXW95805809 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

What is a vendor in a vendor neutral service? 

For visibility and access to the top talent, a vendor neutral MSP trumps the master vendor model every time. And because it increases competition in the supply chain, a vendor neutral MSP can reduce costs significantly.
