APPOINTING MANAGER’S RECRUITMENT PROCESS GUIDELINES 1 Recruitment and Selection Interviews – Equality Act (2010)

The Act makes it unlawful for employers to ask applicants general questions about their health, medical history or disability prior to making an offer of employment. Therefore, appointing managers and panellists are reminded that job applicants must not be asked any health related, sickness absence, attendance or disability related questions at selection interviews. During an interview, you can ask a question about whether someone has the relevant skills, qualities or experience to do the job, but not about their health or about any disability they may have.

2 Successful Candidate Paperwork

The Successful Candidate form should be completed and faxed to the Directorate Support Team, fax Number 0191 2232361 on the same day the verbal Conditional Offer of Employment is made. Hard copies should be sent via the internal postal service.

3 Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) (Previously CRB) – Where applicable

DBS (Previously CRB) completion will be necessary if a job role requires it. Please advise the applicant that the successful candidate will be required to complete a DBS application on-line immediately after verbal acceptance of the post. This will be activated by the person you nominated to input the information into Atlantic Data (please refer to Process notes).

4 Identity check

Candidates must present their original identification documents and a photocopy of each item at interview. The Appointing Manager must check that copies match originals and confirm the identity of the individual present. You must sign and date the copy stating ‘I verify this is a true record of the original’.

Please read Appendix 1; located at the end of this document which details a full list of acceptable identity documentation.
