Pre-Screening FAQs

At Rayne Consultancy Limited, we prioritize ensuring that our candidates and clients are the right fit for each other. To achieve this, we carry out a comprehensive pre-screening process before presenting candidates to our clients. As a candidate, we will:

  • Verify your right to work in the UK.
  • Confirm your identity.
  • Conduct a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, if applicable (formerly known as a criminal record check).
  • Collect references.
  • Review your employment history and investigate any gaps in employment.
  • Verify any qualifications required for the role.
  • Assess your skills and experience through specific questions to confirm your suitability for the position.

The exact screening checks may vary depending on the sector you’ll be working in. Your dedicated Rayne Consultancy Consultant will provide detailed guidance on this process. We strongly recommend that you start preparing the required documentation as early as possible to ensure a swift and smooth process, allowing us to present you to potential employers promptly.
