Start with the actual job
Role-specific planning for Retail & E-commerce
Marketplace, warehouse and seller-support roles have different access to orders, stock and customer data.
fulfilment teams
Record warehouse employer and staffing-agency deployment separately.
online-commerce teams
Distinguish marketplace support employment from seller or delivery participation.
Separate direct employment, staffing assignments and platform participation when capturing work history.
These are planning examples, not client case studies, mandatory check lists or a guarantee of hiring suitability.
Purpose before package
Checks to discuss and why they matter
These are starting points for agreeing a scope, not a blanket package for every person in this sector. Confirm duties, consent, source access and the employer's requirements first.
Identity Verification
Match the candidate's identity to the records being checked. Explain name changes or spelling differences before approaching sources.
Employment / engagement history
Prepare the employer and engagement type for each hiring cohort, with outlet or fulfilment assignments and dates captured independently.
Reference Verification
A relevant store, fulfilment or support supervisor can clarify the candidate's actual responsibilities within the combined programme.
Court, police, database and other checks are not automatic additions. Agree their purpose, permitted sources and limitations separately. A name-only match is not a confirmed adverse finding. Review available services.
Prepare records, not excess data
Inputs for a Retail & E-commerce intake
Prepare the employer and engagement type for each hiring cohort, with outlet or fulfilment assignments and dates captured independently.
- Define the proposed duties and whether each past engagement was employment, contracting, deployment or another relationship.
- Prepare the candidate's agreed identity details, consent and an employer timeline with dates and any name changes.
- Identify authorised source contacts and explain unavailable documents, short assignments or conflicting names before dispatch.
For the reference verification scope
A relevant store, fulfilment or support supervisor can clarify the candidate's actual responsibilities within the combined programme.
- Candidate consent
- Referee name, designation, and contact details
- Relationship to the candidate
Collect candidate documents only through the agreed secure intake. The public enquiry below is for business scope, not identity documents, employee records or account credentials.

Questions when screening Retail & E-commerce roles
Should store and marketplace hires use an identical package?
Not by default. Use a common intake process, then tailor the scope to responsibilities and employment arrangement. The Retail and E-Commerce/Aggregator guides provide more specific starting points.
What if a record is incomplete or the source does not respond?
Request clarification, identify any agreed alternative source and distinguish an unavailable response from a confirmed discrepancy. The report should state which claim was checked, what the source returned and what remains unresolved. The employer makes its own policy decision.
How are the quote and completion window agreed?
Share candidate numbers, hiring roles, locations and the employers or qualifications per candidate. The quote and expected window depend on that scope, record completeness, source response and any field method. This guide does not publish a fixed price or guaranteed deadline.
