Pret A Manger taps NSL right to work assessment service

Pret A Manger has awarded NSL a contract to assess the right to work of applicants in its UK stores as part of a recruitment campaign that is kicks off in May.  

NSL will be providing a fully managed service to verify that documents provided by applicants are genuine.

Pret will gain access to its the Valid8 checking portal that communicates directly with candidates via email and text messages. 

After verification checks are completed, a PDF status report is generated for Pret to upload to its Workday HR platform.  

When successful candidates arrive for induction, managers use the portal to declare a visual comparison of the candidate and the original documents against images of the documents previously authenticated. 

NSL stores all documents centrally in a GDPR compliant environment for a retention period as determined by Home Office rules.

This data is protected from any unauthorised access using multi-factor authentication as well as password and data sharing policies.
