Sussex Enterprises advises its members to screen new employees as a part of the interview process to ensure they know who they are employing and is now hosting a solution for its online business community.
Sussex Enterprises, who have around 2,000 member companies, support and represent local businesses providing practical business support and advice. The latest addition to their HR Advice section, launched today, offers an online tool for companies to verify the identity of new recruits and collect references.
The tool enables companies of any size the functionality to professionally background check without the concern of major time or cost implications.
The cloud based technology provided by Antevida and supported by 192business data is an automated system that collects personal, educational and employment references, gap analysis, identity verification against numerous databases and ID document checking.
Mo Rasanayagam, HR Consultant at Sussex Enterprises is pleased to announce the new addition to the site, commenting;
“All businesses are obliged by law to be sure that the people they employ are entitled to work in this country, and a there’s a £10,000 fine per employee for those who do not comply. However, it’s clearly also in the business’ interest to check that people are who they say they are and that their experience is genuine. This system takes the hard work – and the guess work – out of the process, speeds it up and delivers a really comprehensive report so that you can make an informed, risk free decision. Whether you employ 10 people or 1000 people every year, our system will save you time and money and protect your business.”
The background checking tool is available to its members from today. For more information contact the HR team at Sussex Enterprises on 0844 3759 552.
