Candidate Registration

UK/EU legislation requires all candidates to provide appropriate evidence for applications towards all employment. In line with UKBA guidance on the prevention of illegal working, we will need to verify and take a copy of your original ID documentation as evidence of your right to work in the UK/EU.

We ask this in order to find out your needs in terms of reasonable adjustments to access our recruitment service, and to perform the job or position sought.

If yes, please note that a driving licence check will need to be undertaken in the event that Michael Sharma Group are successful in finding you employment.

*Criminal record disclosure:

We are asking you to complete this form in relation to job roles which are not exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. For this reason, you are only required to disclose information about unspent convictions. You are not required to disclose spent convictions on this form.

Additionally, you are not required to declare any information about ‘protected’ offences – (offences to which the filtering rules apply). If you are unsure as to whether a conviction is unspent/spent or protected (filtered) please see the additional guidance or you can contact organisations such as NARCO or Unlock for further information.

If you wish to be put forward for/if any role is identified which may be suitable for you but which is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, meaning that you are required to disclose spent convictions, we will ask you to complete an additional criminal disclosure form. You are not required to complete that additional form if you do not wish to be put forward for that type of work.

Michael Sharma Group also needs to confirm and verify your identity together with how you are eligible to work in the UK/EU.

Under the laws that govern the recruitment industry, we will require a copy of your passport or photo driving license and National Insurance number or UK Identity Card or similar ID on file.
