Does Wren Living require pre-employment background checks? What kind of background check does Wren Living do and how long does it take to complete?

Answered by Wren Kitchens5 March 2020

Pre-employment screening refers to the process of investigating the backgrounds of potential employees and is commonly used to verify the accuracy of an applicant's claims as well as to discover any possible criminal history, workers compensation claims, or employer sanctions.

You are asked to provide references, right to work documents and a DBS check.

They ask for references, they make sure you can work in the UK, i had to give over my passport as proof, even though I am British, i have lived in the UK all my life and have a north Lincolnshire accent ffs.

I guess they must be confused seeing as 100% of all the other people working there are Polish lol

The background check required to work for Wren is nothing different or intensive compared to any other sales or retail job.
