Recruitment Law & Recruitment Support

When dealing with recruitment it is important not only to get the right person for the job but also to ensure that the process followed, from advertisement to a job offer, is correct in order to avoid any  potential claims for discrimination.

There are many issues that an employer wishing to recruit needs to consider, for example:-

• Identifying the vacancy
• Preparing a job description and person specification
• Advertising the vacancy: inviting applications (using either application forms or other means of applying) and dealing with speculative applications
• Shortlisting and selection
• Making an offer of employment, subject to conditions where appropriate (and, where necessary, withdrawing the offer)
• Issues at all the above stages relating to remote or hybrid working and requests to work abroad
• Inducting the new employee, starting with a probationary period where appropriate

We understand that you need guidance that is practical and commercial; our specialist recruitment solicitors will ensure you and your business are fully aware and compliant with the UK recruitment laws.
