Employer Checklist and Candidate Verification

Before starting onboarding or employment, employers should check the documentation of each candidate. They should confirm the candidate’s identity, check the certificate in the system, and make sure it matches the job and sector. Employers should use the system, not screenshots or informal documents.

Employers should check if the candidate has only a Pre-departure Certificate or a Skills Pass certificate, where required. Employers must make sure the certificate matches what is needed for the job.

If the system provides verification tools, employers should use them to check if the certificate is valid. Digital certificates in the system are the official record and may include ways to verify them. Employers should keep records of these checks for compliance.
