Pre-employment Background Screening

Descriptions

The British Council is looking for a global solution to support background screening of all new hire employees and ongoing annual rescreening cycle of approximately 10,500 employees The British council utilises SAP Success Factors so an ability to order screening via an integration to the recruitment module is a critical requirement. The British Council currently delivers global background screening via a combination of in-house resource and outsourced contract. Our intention is to continue to outsource all background screening for British Council employees to one global screening supplier.The British council is currently undergoing transformation and business realignment and anticipates needing to bring the screening of consultants and contractors into scope of the same model at a later dateKey Areas: Risk ProfileWe have identified four broad risk profiles for our new hire employees and require the supplier to be able to tailor their operation to deliver these different screening packages. Similarly, internal transfers between roles require 2 different screening packages and finally our existing employees have 3 different re-screening profiles.Operational reachWe are head quartered in the UK, but our in-house screening team are based in, India. We have operational bases in 100+ countries and require supplier capability to perform background screening checks in all our operational locations where legally permissible to do so.Technology and processThe solution should allow recruiters from 100+ country bases to order screening via their instance of Success Factors. We would expect the process to broadly run thus. Supplier acknowledges screening order and commences work; progress report feed is visible to recruiter via data feed to Success Factors recruitment requisition. Supplier updates Background screening team with progress on attempts to verify, seeking to minimise unable to verify and decisional elements. When screening is closed a report and snips or.pdf evidence is sent to British Council for audit and compliance purpose.Our orders for recurrent screening should ideally also integrate with SAP Success Factors, but will be ordered by our team in Noida, reports and evidence snips where necessary should be returned to British Council for upload into SAP Success FactorsAccount Management & Customer ServiceBritish Council requires one global account manager/lead to manage its screening requirements along with regional point of contacts for each region. However, attention should be paid to the global reach of our organisation and consideration given to an approach that supports a global corporate "head office" in London, UK and a service delivery manager and team based in Mumbai and Noida, India.Further details can be found in the PIN notice attached.
