The Employment Agencies Act
Did you know that Employment Agencies in the UK have a set of Rules to work to?
They’re called The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003.
This is the legislation that governs our industry.
They cover all elements of the Recruitment process from general obligations to, special situations where more than one agency is involved in the supply.
Like all rules and regulations they’re subject to interpretation by, highly paid legal professionals and rulings and case law by High Court Judges, but the fact still remains that we do have the equivalent of the Haynes Manual to Recruitment.
The Employment Agencies Act (among other things) ensures we’re open, honest, and transparent, about our service, which can only be a good thing.
