If no reference is forthcoming we will approach the candidate to evidence employment through any paperwork that may be in existence. If a candidate has been a director of a limited company we will obtain information from Companies House. If the candidate has been self- employed HMRC information will be requested or confirmation sought from their accountant. If the candidate has been engaged in full-time education a copy of an educational certificate will be requested.
