How can we help with a BPSS
Through VettingGateway you’ll be able to easily and quickly conduct the necessary checks in order to satisfy a BPSS check.
The identity check can be conducted within minutes of your applicant completing their online profile and a result shown to you, so you can then continue in the knowledge that the person you are hiring, is who they say they are.
It reduces the time taken to conduct these checks through automation which speeds up the recruitment process so your new employee can start their role as quickly as possible.
What checks do I need for a BPSS
To conduct a background check on an individual working in a government related environment, you'll need:
-
3 year (minimum) employment history
-
UK Basic DBS
-
Identity check
These checks can be conducted within our referencing portal including an integration for the UK Basic DBS and identity check. We will also take the time out of chasing for you as our automated chasing function will email all your referees every 3 days, ticking off another job from your to do list!
