HR Services and CRB Checking

As a HR professional, in my current role I am continuously striving to find areas that bridge the gap between helping HR and making HR count towards the business.

With this in mind I had a project on the go for a few months looking at how CRB checking could add value to a business from a HR perspective.

It took some time to get off the ground, with differing ideas and service levels as well as working with IT on the best way to develop this, but we finally got there.
 
We have now combined services with Personnel Checks to create an exclusive partnership. Recognising that an increasing number of organisations utilised CRB checks as part of their recruitment process, networx have partnered with Personnel Checks; a registered umbrella body of the criminal record bureau, means clients can simply include CRB checks into their current recruitment process.

 As a highly respected organisation, thousands of companies used the CRB service of Personnel Checks last year, including large corporate organisations, health and education sectors, and financial service organisations. Personnel Checks offers Basic, Standard and Enhanced CRB checks, and promises a rapid turnaround time.

 Future plans for the partnership involves seamlessly integrating the Personnel Check’s CRB service into networx’s apoint technology. The process, which will allow for an organisation to request a CRB check on a candidate by simply clicking a button, is designed to promote speed and simplicity whilst keeping all of the client’s recruitment needs in one place.

For more information on the partnership and how it could benefit your organisation, please e-mail alex.murgatroyd@networxrecruitment.com
