Recruitment Check List. Remain compliant in 10 steps.

Recruitment is such an important process to get right for any business. Use our recruitment check list to ensure you haven’t missed anything

Have a designated HR Admin/Assistant to:
- Automatically send offer letters once a decision has been made (they may get competing offers so once a decision is made you need to act quickly!)
- Ensure all correspondence has the assistant’s contact details so all necessary paperwork can be processed and sent to the correct people (e.g. inform the department of the staring date, payroll forms etc…)
- Send out for references once an offer has been accepted

Check the contract and ensure it contains necessary and accurate detail (Names, Addresses, Position, Start date, Salary, Benefits, Weekly hours, Holiday allowance, Place of work etc.)

Diarise to ensure that the contract of employment is sent out on Day 1 of employment (or before) it’s a good idea to have it signed and returned before they start

Answer future employee’s questions and queries at the early stage of onboarding to guide them and help them to feel part of the team

Make sure new employee’s desk is prepared and equipped with all necessary devices, it’s a good idea to provide some stationary and any welcome literature that you may have

Make sure new employee has access to all necessary systems and enrolled in payroll.

Provide an induction and office tour for a new starter, provide them with an employee handbook and a company background.

Introduce new employee to everybody and make them feel welcome, provide them with an ‘office buddy’ who they can have coffee with for the first couple of weeks, act as a friendly point of call and to ensure that they do not feel too isolate whilst they settle in.
