It may only be September, but many people are already eagerly anticipating Christmas. Retailers and other organisations who see a major uptick in business at Christmas are looking to recruit seasonal workers to take them through the festive period.
Checking a candidate’s right to work in the UK is mandatory for all employees – seasonal and permanent. And no one is above a Right to Work (RtW) check, not even Santa.
The problem is that checking documents for RtW and DBS checks can become a burden for hiring managers, especially when recruiting locally across different locations. As competition for seasonal workers heats up, employers need to make sure that they don’t miss out on talent because their processes take too long.
One leading wine retailer, for whom Christmas is the busiest time of the year, regularly hires up to 200 seasonal staff. In previous years, its RtW checks were carried out by local managers in store. An admin task that took up a lot of time and was identified as a possible compliance risk.
The organisation needed a robust solution. As a much-loved brand it has a reputation that it is keen to protect, and a good employee experience is a key part of its brand. The solution? The retailer looked to TrustID to bring their RtW compliance under one roof for increased peace of mind and to reduce the admin workload for their local managers. As RtW documents can now be checked in minutes rather than days, the company can secure new hires faster and presents a much better onboarding experience.
