The exact employer reference guide we built from 18 years of screening, covering every document, every question, and every escalation point, yours to download now for FREE today!
"We built this toolkit because we saw the same mistakes repeated across hundreds of organisations. Teams collecting the wrong documents, skipping critical interview questions, and missing escalation triggers before screening had even begun. So we created the exact desk side reference we wished every employer had from day one. It is yours, on us at absolutely no cost."

Expert Built BS7858 Employer Guidance
We wanted to give every employer access to the same reference tools we used across thousands of BS7858 checks, at absolutely no cost. This guide exists because we believe every company screening to this standard deserves a clear starting point, and this is our way of showing you exactly how we approach it.
Organisations holding NSI, SSAIB, or ACS accreditation are required to screen to BS7858. For everyone else, it remains the recognised benchmark for hiring into security sensitive roles. Either way, collecting the wrong documents or missing a key step costs you a failed audit and a hire you cannot defend.
The guide covers identity document requirements, right to work verification, five year address and employment history collection, SIA licence checks, gap identification, applicant interview prompts, key warning signs to watch for, a printable applicant screening checklist, and full acceptable documents lists for right to work, proof of identity, and proof of address.
Every section is designed so managers, HR staff, and screening officers can use it as a desk side reference during live onboarding, not just background reading filed away and forgotten.
Know what to collect. Ask the right questions. Screen with confidence.
