How can we help in Retail

Within the Retail sector it’s not uncommon for staff turnover to be high. However, with the use of detailed employment background checks you can understand the hiring risk and make informed decisions about who becomes part of your team. Retail theft can also be a huge problem within the industry, and whilst stopping theft entirely isn’t possible, you can reduce the number of incidents by conducting checks such as an identity, credit check or Basic UK DBS (criminal record).  

Employment background checks can seem overwhelming, especially when they’re an additional task added to your normal day job. VettingGateway uses automation and a simple platform to guide you through how to conduct the right background check for your new employee, with no specific expertise needed.   

  • Smart tasking systems will remind you which document you need, or when you need to contact your applicant 

  • You can request a reference directly from the platform, so there’s no need to use Outlook to send a form 

  • You can communicate directly with your referees straight out of VettingGateway using a smart messaging system  

Ensure you hire staff with the right characteristics to provide excellent customer service to your customers. Using our simple to navigate platform you’ll be able to request and conduct the checks swiftly and get to know the person who will be joining your retail family.
