Resourcing

Resourcing is a public facing function, proactively identifying, attracting and engaging potential top talent to meet the NCA's skills gaps and capability needs.

Attraction activates can include career fairs; outreach to colleges and universities and utilising sourcing platforms to engage potential talent and advertise recruitment opportunities. In addition, the team ensures sourcing activities align with the NCA Strategy and resourcing needs by analysing data to identify, understand and target talent to source candidates for 'hard to fill' roles in a competitive labour market.

Using innovative assessment and selection methodologies to secure top-tier talent to fill known skills gaps, ensuring both quality hires and long-term retention. In addition to providing a vital service to candidates and the wider business by co-ordinating the communication across attraction, assessment, and selection. Using their expert knowledge, the team governs the candidate selection process in line with the Civil Service Commission Recruitment Principles, to ensure the process is fair and open competition.

Pre-employment checks

The NCA Pre-Employment Checks (PECS) Team contributes to protecting of the public from serious and organised crime, by ensuring the NCA has the right people in the right jobs. Through collaboration, the team co-ordinates and manages pre-employment check activities for all permanent new starters and the facilitation of internal moves.

Due to the nature of work undertaken by the NCA, these checks are robust to ensure all officers meet the integrity and security standard required. Whilst also ensuring a quality service is provided by delivering a positive and engaging experience for candidates.

NCA Specials

At the NCA, we’ve been inspired by the success of the Special Constabulary in policing. Building on this success, we too enhance our workforce through the use of volunteer crime-fighters, which we call NCA Specials.

Whilst police Special Constables traditionally provide general support to their force, NCA Specials are recruited because of their specialist, niche expertise and skills that are rarely available within law enforcement, but that are of huge value in the fight against serious and organised crime.
