Conditional offer and feedback to candidates

Recruiting managers should verbally offer the preferred candidate the position and outline it is subject to pre-employment clearances.

An official start date should not be arranged until the Recruitment and DBS Admin team have notified you that all pre-employment checks are complete.

If the preferred candidate verbally accepts, the recruiting manager, or other panel members should call the unsuccessful candidates to let them know the outcome.

Candidates may ask for feedback on their interview performance at this time and panel members should provide this and thank the candidate for their interest.

Cases where there are no successful candidates

To confirm there are no successful candidates and to discuss next steps or alternative options, managers should contact the Resourcing Team.
