How do we check candidates re background qualifications
and 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 (see
link). 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 quite confident
that all candidates prove to be bone fide. Many of our
applicants are known to Hampstead Nannies, having
being placed through the Agency previously or having
worked in the area.
