Making the final decision to put an offer to a new employee can sometimes be daunting. There are so many questions that you need to check as part of your recruitment process. Additionally, there is always that lingering concern that there is something that you have forgotten to ask that will have a big impact on your business/organisation. For example, have you remembered to ask if they have any planned leave coming up in the next 12 months? What about if they have any pre-existing injuries or illnesses which may impact their ability to carry out the duties of their role?

To assist our members with this, we have developed the pre-employment check which sends out a request to the candidate to complete a series of questions before submitting a report to your email for you to review. You will have the ability to add or remove some of the questions asked of the candidate in the form below.

Please note that we strongly recommend sending this to the candidate at the time of collecting reference details. After reference checking or offer stage, you may not have as much freedom to change your hiring decision as a result of the Pre-employment Check.

The process works as follows:

1. Fill out the form below with your details and the candidate’s details, selecting additional questions that you would like to ask alongside the standard questions provided
2. The employee will automatically be sent an email on behalf of your business, with a customised link to fill out the form, answering the questions you have requested
3. Following the completion of the form, you will be automatically sent a copy of the completed form for you to review and consider as part of your hiring process

Please note, this is an automated process and does not have any interaction with On Demand HR consultants. Should you observe something you’re not comfortable with in the response that you receive from your employee, we recommend that you reach out to the team by sending an email to advice@ondemandhr.com.au
