We have no set checklist but would audit based on single central record/safer recruitment. When we are audited they pull random number of HR files and check we have all necessary recruitment authorisation, evidence of interview/short list quality - panel notes etc and pre-employment checks in place based on policy/safer recruitment and single central record DBS, references, R2W etc.

I don't have a checklist, but the things I'd be looking for in schools are:
* Shortlisting and Interview decisions adequately documented with non-discriminatory reasons for rejecting candidates.
* Pre-employment checks carried out and kept on file including qualifications, CRB, Barred Lists etc.
* Advertising costs have been paid and are reasonable/value for money etc.
* Duration of recruitment exercises in each school are reasonable - time to advertise, time to interview, onboarding timescales etc.
