Hiring checks

How new starters are getting on. For everyone who started through a hiring offer, Saral schedules a check at the first day, the end of week 1, the end of week 4, the probation review and — for agency workers — the 12-week point, and lists them here due and overdue first. The hiring manager, HR or the site manager who runs the register rates each one in a tap: a score out of five, an outcome, a note, and at week 4 and probation whether you would take them back.

You enter

Per check: a rating from 1 (Poor) to 5 (Excellent), an outcome (Going well, Some concerns, Extend probation, Passed or Did not pass probation, Has left) and a note.
At the end of week 4 and at the probation review: would you take them back, and why — it follows the person into the worker pool.

Saral fills in

The checks themselves, from the accepted offer's start date: who, which vacancy and agency, how they are engaged, the due date and its state (Overdue, Due today, Coming up, Done), and Not started yet when the first day has not been recorded.
The 12-week check for agency workers, which is when equal treatment under the Agency Workers Regulations begins.

It produces

A rated record of each new starter's first weeks on their vacancy, the agency's scorecard (who was still working at four and twelve weeks, early ratings), and the rehire answer on the person's pool record.

What this page is for

A hire is not finished when the person turns up. The first day, the end of the first week, the end of the first month and the probation review are the moments to ask how it is going, and a 12-week agency placement is a legal milestone too. This page makes sure none of them is missed: every check is scheduled from the accepted offer, the overdue ones sit at the top, and rating one takes a tap. It is a list for the hiring manager and the site manager as much as for HR.

Who sees it and who rates

Anyone who reads the worker pool and either raises vacancies, manages the pool or reads the site register may open this page and rate a check — the hiring manager, HR, or the site manager who sees the person every day. The checks belong to the account, not to one project, so a manager who moved the starter to another site still sees them. A check is only ever rated by a person; nothing here is scored automatically.

What a rating feeds

The score, outcome and note sit on the check and on the vacancy's First weeks section. An agency's scorecard reads them to show who was still working at four and twelve weeks and the early ratings. The week 4 and probation answer to would you take them back is written to the person's pool record, so the next time they apply or are called up the answer is already there.

Where the settings live

The checkpoints and their timing are Saral's defaults and follow the offer's start date; the hiring defaults a vacancy runs on — the bid window, how long an offer stays open, the shortlist size and the screening threshold — are HR → Settings → Worker Pool. Checks appear here only once someone has accepted an offer of a role; until then the page says so.
