Home / Recruitment Ethics

Purpose
To ensure all recruitment activity by Altera Recruitment Group is conducted in a fair, transparent, lawful, and respectful manner.
 

Scope
Applies to all employees, consultants, and contractors engaged in recruitment or candidate management.


Principles of Ethical Recruitment

 

  1. Informed Consent

    • Candidates must always be informed about the role and employer before submission.

    • Personal data will only be shared with a client once the candidate has provided consent.

  2. No Fee Charging

    • We will never charge candidates fees for recruitment, placement, or employment services

  3. Transparent Job Descriptions

    • All job adverts and briefings must accurately represent the role, employer, pay, and terms.

  4. Voluntary Participation

    • No pressure will be applied to encourage candidates to accept a role.

    • Candidates are free to withdraw from the process at any time.

  5. Right to Work

    • All candidates must have the legal right to work in the location of the role.

    • Temporary workers are vetted in line with UK immigration laws and relevant licensing requirements.

  6. Anti-Discrimination

    • Shortlisting, interviews, and placements must be based on merit and relevance, not personal characteristics or biases.

  7. Client Responsibilities

    • We educate clients on fair recruitment practices and will not support unethical demands, e.g., age restrictions or discriminatory filters.

  8. Feedback and Respect

    • We treat all candidates professionally, offering timely communication and, where possible, constructive feedback.​
