Candidate Screening

At the heart of the HCL service is our ability to understand the needs of our clients when screening potential applicants.

Our operations comprise specialist teams segmented by health and care specialisms, and their strength lies in their ability to provide a highly focused client service, with unrivalled discipline-specific knowledge and expertise.

It’s this specialist focus that has allowed them to build up an in-depth understanding of each niche skill set and of our clients’ work environments and needs. Furthermore, our recruitment teams include experienced health and care professionals, providing expert assessment of skills at interview.

Although HCL's individual brands screen their candidates against varying sets of criteria according to sector, they operate a common best practice philosophy in ensuring all candidates are fully vetted and comply with their rigorous quality policies. Some examples of our selection criteria include:

  • Detailed Interviews
  • Proof of identity
  • Skill checks
  • Organisational fit assessment
  • Enhanced CRB Screens
  • Full reference checks both academic and professional
  • Right-to-work
  • Professional registrations (e.g. HPC, NMC, RPSGB etc.)
  • Occupational Health Checks
