Employers can incorporate the Sample: Statement on the Use of Pre-Employment Check Findings into their recruitment materials, such as on their company website, job postings, or within the onboarding documentation provided to candidates.
This sample statement is particularly useful during the initial stages of the hiring process to inform potential candidates about the company’s commitment to fair and lawful pre-employment screening practices.
By clearly communicating these policies, employers can build trust with candidates, ensuring transparency and compliance with Australian laws.
This statement also serves as a reassurance to candidates that their personal information will be handled with the utmost care and respect, and that any findings from pre-employment checks will be used appropriately and without discrimination. Additionally, it highlights the importance of obtaining candidate consent, reinforcing the company’s dedication to ethical hiring practices.
