While the application form and interview process will give you some assurances as to a candidate's suitability for a vacant position, some additional verification or vetting of the candidate will be necessary. You will need to establish that the candidate has the right to work in the UK (see section: Establishing the right to work in the UK). In addition, you may need to:

1. •

   obtain references from the candidate's current and previous employers—see section: References

2. •

   where appropriate, apply to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for a Criminal Record Certificate or Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate—see section: Criminal records—asking questions and DBS checks

3. •

   seek a pre-employment medical report on the candidate—see section: Health questions

4. •

   establish that your regulated candidate has the qualifications they claim and review their disciplinary record—see section: Qualifications and regulatory record checks

5. •

   carry out pre-employment due diligence or screening, in particular for senior management and other ‘high risk’ posts, in relation to matters such as money laundering, financial sanctions, bribery, tax evasion facilitation, corporate criminal liability, and fraud—see section: Staff due diligence
