Right to work in the UK

Hi

Could I ask for your advice/help with regards our intern recruitment.

Our intern recruitment is performed across all our legal entities which spans from the south coast up to the midlands.

Our recruitment team is centrally based and for our intern recruitment we just adminster hte process and the local hiring manager conducts the interview.

Our understanding with the right to work check is that you have to check the original document with the actual person i.e. face to face and then certify it as a true copy.  For intern recruitment we hoped our Hiring Managers would perform this task.  This doesn't happen robustly and we had a safety net process whereby we would double check at induction.

Is there any guidance out there on how other companies are performing checks for candidates at remote sites, are you using hiring managers?  are you using another rmethod or system to support?  If so how are you doing it.

Any ideas much appreciated.

  • My previous organisation had a central HR function and staff at remote sites across the UK - we also used local hiring managers and it was very clear that if we hadn't received a copy of the right to work documents, authenticated as copies of the original by the relevant manager, the individual didn't start. The manager also had the responsibility of telling the individual too.

    Sometimes 'safety nets' mean that managers will let the net take the strain
