Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003
Candidates and Recruiters need to be aware that this website and job board operates as a venue only and does not introduce or supply candidates to recruiters (or vice versa). This means that we do not:
obtain sufficient information for potential recruiters to select a suitable candidate for the position which the recruiter seeks to fill;
obtain confirmation of the identity of a candidate or that they have the experience, training, qualifications or authorisation to work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled;
take any steps to ensure the candidate and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the candidate to fulfil the position to be filled;
take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to the interests of the candidate or the recruiter for the candidate to fulfil the position to be fulfilled;
give any indication to recruiters whether candidates are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances;
propose candidates to recruiters or provide any information about them.
take up any references in relation to a candidate; or,
make any arrangements for accommodation of candidates.
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”) seek to ensure that candidates are only proposed by employment agencies for roles for which they are properly qualified and that recruiters are only offered candidates who have the appropriate levels of experience, training, qualifications and authorisation for the position to be filled. Since we are only a venue and do not propose or introduce candidates to recruiters or vice versa, it is recommended that, if you are a recruiter, to ensure a candidate’s suitability for the role.
This could include:
If you are a recruiter; checking the identity of the candidate and that the candidate has the experience, training, qualifications and authorisation required by law or otherwise for the position and whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you, as the recruiter, to meet to enable a candidate to take up a position.
In addition, where professional qualifications are required or where candidates are to work with vulnerable persons or children, you should obtain copies of the relevant qualifications or authorisation, obtain at least two references from people who are not relatives of the candidates and undertake a criminal records bureau check of the candidate.
Any searching or screening tools provided by us for use in your assessment of the suitability or otherwise of any particular candidate or advertised vacancy are to assist you in taking these steps, but are not intended as a substitute.
