Hi Roisin,
For one of my previous employers I had a similar experience.
We sent questionnaires electronically and ask the individual to complete and return. We reviewed these, if memory serves me correctly nothing set alarms bells ringing, but due to our policies and the environment they were going to work in a screening appointment was arranged for them on the first day they started in the role.
Almost the same approach as Dawn. Any problems that we were not informed of or withheld would have been dealt with as per policy by the Managers.
Regards
Terri

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Pre employment assessment for overseas candidate
Good morning All,
I would be very grateful for your advice on pre employment medical processes for overseas candidates.
We have a candidate who has been interviewed via Skype, has been offered the post and is now at the pre employment assessment stage.
The issue is that the candidate lives in the US so there a potentially large layout of cost for one pre employment assessment. Linking in with another provider isn't an option as I'm informed we need to "preserve our process".
Does anyone have any experience of remote pre employment medical assessments?
I'd be keen to understand how others deal with this issue in an ever-increasing global recruitment market.
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious - I haven't been able to find any information or guidance on this so far.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Roisin
