Candidate Onboarding & Reference Checks
The make-or-break stretch between offer and day one, reference checks, pre-start vetting and document collection handled so your candidate lands clean and your fee is never at risk.
An accepted offer is not a placement until the candidate starts and stays. We run the entire onboarding runway on your behalf: structured, documented reference checks; right-to-work and qualification verification; contract and document collection; and a pre-start checklist that surfaces problems while there is still time to fix them. Your candidate walks in on day one fully cleared, and your rebate clock never gets tested.
What you walk away with
What’s included
Structured reference checking
Gathering and documenting professional and employment references to a consistent standard, chased, verified and filed, not left to the last minute.
Pre-start vetting & verification
Confirming right-to-work, identity and qualifications so nothing surfaces after the candidate has resigned their old role.
Document & contract collection
Issuing, chasing and safely storing signed contracts, onboarding forms and compliance paperwork ahead of the start date.
Day-one readiness checklist
A tracked pre-start checklist shared with you, so you always know exactly what is outstanding and when your candidate is cleared to start.
Common questions
Do you carry out the reference checks yourselves?
Yes, we run the reference process end to end on your behalf, to a consistent, documented standard, and hand you a clean file. You stay the face of the relationship; we do the chasing.
How does this reduce fall-throughs?
Most fall-throughs happen in the gap between offer and start. By verifying references, right-to-work and documents early, and tracking a clear pre-start checklist, problems surface while there's still time to act, protecting your fee and your rebate period.
