COPFS-2023-090 - Pre-Recruitment Social Media Vetting - RFI

Tender description

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service would like to notify you of a potential opportunity to carry out Social Media checks on behalf of COPFS as part of the Pre-Recruitment Vetting. A Request For Information questionnaire has been developed and should be completed and returned before the deadline by any suppliers interested in this opportunity. Carrying out pre-employment checks, or ‘vetting’ a candidate, is an important part of the recruitment process, whereby we consider whether a candidate is eligible for a job role. With the selection of candidates focusing on their suitability for the job role, COPFS carry out pre-employment checks to safeguard the business from any negative impact cause by the recruitment of an individual. We are currently in the process of reviewing our recruitment process and are interested in incorporating social media checks as part of our screening process. We understand the importance of ensuring that our potential employees align with our company values and culture and believe that social media checks can provide valuable insights into a candidates character and behaviour.
