Safer international school recruitment
What does your safeguarding & vetting process look like?
Every candidate is screened face to face via Teams or Zoom, with safeguarding competence explicitly assessed before they reach a school’s shortlist.
Our dedicated compliance team manages rigorous document control, employment and reference checks, qualification confirmation, police clearance and safeguarding disclosures.

Core principle
Safer recruitment embedded throughout
Safeguarding starts with a real conversation
Every candidate is face-to-face screened via Teams or Zoom. Safeguarding competence is explicitly assessed in that conversation rather than inferred from a CV.
Identity and experience
We explore the candidate’s professional history, responsibilities and suitability for the school context.
Safeguarding competence
Candidates are asked directly about their safeguarding understanding, judgement and responsibilities.
Professional suitability
The conversation supports a considered assessment before a candidate is introduced to a school.
A dedicated compliance team
Francis and Christina Arcilla manage all document control. Between them, they bring more than twenty years of quality assurance and HR experience.
They handle the rigorous checks that fast-moving recruitment firms often skip.
Compliance expertise
Experienced oversight, consistent document control and careful verification throughout the process.
What safeguarding and vetting checks do you complete?
Our compliance process cross-checks the information supplied by each candidate and confirms the evidence schools need for safer recruitment.
Employment history
Full employment history verification and investigation of the candidate’s professional record.
References
Reference validation to confirm authenticity and support an informed hiring decision.
Qualifications
Confirmation of relevant qualifications and the documentation provided by the candidate.
DBS checks
Relevant DBS documentation is checked as part of the candidate’s compliance record.
Police clearance
Police-clearance documentation is reviewed for candidates whose history spans international jurisdictions.
Safeguarding disclosures
Safeguarding disclosures are cross-checked against the wider evidence gathered during screening and vetting.
Safer recruitment is embedded in everything we do
Safeguarding is not a final administrative step. It shapes candidate screening, document control, verification and the recommendations we make to schools.
Every stage is designed to support responsible, evidence-led hiring.
Our standard
Human screening, experienced oversight, rigorous verification and clear accountability.
