-Policy and Certification requirements
-Work Seeker Registration
-Work Seeking Services
-Work Seekers from outside the UK
-Terms of Engagement for Temporary Workers
-Payments to and from the Worker
-Initial contact with Clients
-Client Terms of Business
-Record Keeping and Data Storage
-Advertising

Gordon Adam, Managing Director commented:

“After achieving IIP in July last year we had planned to follow this on with the ISO9001 quality standard. However when we looked into this, we realized that ISO only proved our ability to follow a process. Although we still intend to gain the ISO recognition, it was more important for us to demonstrate to our clients and jobseeker that we adhere to both the law and best practices in our industry.

We have worked hard to ensure all staff understand and adopt these practices, and we have improved our processes which helps to measure and report our compliance with the standards.

REC Audited is the best external endorsement of our business processes, which will reassure our clients and candidates that we work to the most rigorous standards in the recruitment industry.”
