COPFS-2023-090 - Pre-Recruitment Social Media Vetting - RFI

Descriptions

Carrying out pre-employment checks, or ‘vetting’ a candidate, is an important part of the recruitment process, whereby we consider whether a candidate is eligible for a job role. With the selection of candidates focusing on their suitability for the job role, COPFS carry out pre-employment checks to safeguard the business from any negative impact cause by the recruitment of an individual. We are currently in the process of reviewing our recruitment process and are interested in incorporating social media checks as part of our screening process. We understand the importance of ensuring that our potential employees align with our company values and culture and believe that social media checks can provide valuable insights into a candidates character and behaviour.
