Our Recruitment & Assessment Process
HOW WE CHECK CANDIDATES' QUALIFICATIONS, BACKGROUNDS & REFERENCES
We recruit our candidates via extensive advertising. During the initial interview, applicants, many of whom live locally, will be asked to complete a detailed form and submit their written qualifications, references and police check. Having been questioned at length, they will then be considered for a suitable post with our clients.
References will be taken up and verified verbally. Through a well thought out and rigorous checking system, Hampstead Nannies is confident that all candidates prove to be bonafide. Many of our applicants are known to Hampstead Nannies, having being placed through the Agency previously or having worked in the area.
Civil & Corporate Security Ltd is the largest independent facility to the DBS, providing Criminal Record Checks in the UK and overseas for domestic staff agencies.
Nannytax offers payroll, tax, HR and legal services to parents employing nannies and other home help.
