The service should offer Cadent confidence whilst aiding the recruitment process, alleviating administration and the chasing of candidates from the on-boarding team. It is our ambition to create a workplace where employees are: * all fully compliant with right to work checks * who they say they are so their integrity is not brought into question * confident their team mate can perform the duties they have been given * qualified to the standards required for their role This is achieved by a pre-employment strategy which includes: * Working within the BS7858 standards * Verify their right to work documentation (Pre-Settled/Settled Status, Visa and Work Permit) * Identity Verification (Passport, Birth Certificate, Photo ID Drivers Licence * Address Validation * Employment verification for 5 years including any career gaps or periods of unemployment * Verification of periods of residency abroad within the 5 year period * Verifying periods of self-employment within the last 5 year period * Contact Universities and colleges to check the qualifications are valid * Financial validation - County Court Judgements (CCJ) checks and Credit History * Complete a standard Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) check As a result, Cadent is looking for a PES partner who will provide expert background checking and pre-employment screening services for permanent employees. Both new hire offer holders and existing employees should be covered by this service. For example, the service should cover the minimum level of PES for external recruits as well as additional checks for existing employees who are moving into key internal roles, or roles that require an enhanced level of security clearance. Additional value adding services and recommendations with regards to innovation, adapting to changes in legislation, best practice development, analysis of market trends, technological advances and sharing of learning and experiences from other clients is within scope on top of account management responsibilities.",
