Hiring the right people is essential for any organisation, but it comes with challenges. Personnel checks are a crucial step in making sure your workforce is trustworthy, compliant, and suitable for the role. At Aaron’s Department, we make these checks simple, fast, and effective, offering a range of services designed to meet your organisation’s needs.
Whether it’s DBS checks, digital ID verification, reference gathering, or international record checks, our tools help you hire with confidence while saving time and effort.
Why Personnel Checks Matter
Checks on your personnel cks are more than a formality—they’re a way to protect your organisation and its people. For roles in sensitive industries such as healthcare, education, and finance, these checks are often legally required. Even for less regulated positions, they can help avoid costly hiring mistakes.
At Aaron’s Department, we focus on making the process as straightforward as possible. Our services are designed to help you meet all your compliance needs while ensuring you can make confident hiring decisions.
What Checks Do We Offer?
DBS Checks For Your Personnel
DBS checks are essential for roles that require a high level of trust, especially those involving children, vulnerable adults, or sensitive data. We offer all types of DBS checks to suit your needs:
Basic DBS Check: Perfect for roles requiring a simple criminal record overview.
Standard DBS Check: Covers spent and unspent convictions, cautions, and reprimands, suitable for roles where a high level of trust is required, but no direct contact with vulnerable groups.
Enhanced DBS Check: The most detailed, including checks against barred lists and local police information for those working with vulnerable groups.
Digital ID Checks
Verifying a personnel’s identity doesn’t have to involve mountains of paperwork or face-to-face meetings. Our Digital ID Checks allow you to complete this process entirely online, saving time and effort.
Using secure methods like passport scans and online banking verification, you can confirm a candidate’s identity quickly and accurately. Integrated with our DBS checks, this tool ensures you meet compliance requirements without unnecessary delays.
Free Reference Gathering
References are a vital part of hiring, but collecting them can often be a slow and frustrating process. That’s why we offer free reference gathering as part of our services.
Here’s how it works:
- You request to gather references for a personnel.
- We ask them to provide their employment history and references.
- Our system automatically sends reference requests to the candidate’s referees.
- If no response is received, we’ll follow up, saving you time.
- Once completed, you can review the answers!
Why is it free? There are a couple of reasons! First, while our standard reference gathering service is completely free, we do offer optional paid extras. These include additional follow-ups via phone calls if a referee hasn’t responded and an in-depth audit of the reference to ensure it’s valid and trustworthy.
Second of all, to be completely honest, is because it may encourage you to use one of our other services in the future!
But, if you only want free reference gathering, then that is exactly what you’ll get, and won’t have to pay a penny.
International Criminal Record Checks
Hiring candidates from overseas? You need to be sure of their background just as much as for local hires. Our International Criminal Record Checks cover over 200 countries, giving you peace of mind when hiring globally.
We offer:
- Fast, reliable checks tailored to your needs.
- Compliance with UK and international regulations.
- Support for a wide range of industries and roles.
Whether hiring a teacher, nurse, or IT professional from abroad, we make it simple to verify their history.
Other Background Personnel Checks
Some roles require even more specialised checks, and we’ve got you covered. Our additional services include, but are not limited to:
Right to Work Checks: Verifies a candidate’s eligibility to work in the UK, keeping you compliant with immigration laws.
HPAN Checks: Ensures healthcare professionals are safe to work by checking for any restrictions or alerts.
Education Verification: Confirms the candidate’s academic qualifications, ensuring their credentials are valid and accurate.
