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.​
