Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003

Platform Users need to be aware that this website operates as a venue only and does not introduce or supply Platform Users to recruiters (or vice versa). This means that we do not:

  • obtain sufficient information for potential recruiters to select a suitable Platform User for the position which the recruiter seeks to fill;
  • obtain confirmation of the identity of a Platform User 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 Platform User and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the Platform User to fulfil the position to be filled;
  • take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to the interests of the Platform User or the recruiter for the Platform User to fulfil the position to be fulfilled;
  • give any indication to recruiters whether Platform Users are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances;
  • propose Platform Users to recruiters or provide any information about them.
  • take up any references in relation to a Platform User; or,
  • make any arrangements for accommodation of Platform Users.

The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”) seek to ensure that Platform Users are only proposed by employment agencies for roles for which they are properly qualified and that recruiters are only offered Platform Users 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 Platform Users to recruiters or vice versa, it is recommended that, if you are a Platform User you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the role advertised or, if you are a recruiter, to ensure a Platform User’s suitability for the role.

These could include:

1. If you are a Platform User; checking the identity of the recruiter and the nature of its business, the commencement date and duration of the position, the position to be filled including type of work, location, hours and risks to health and safety, experience, training, qualifications and authorisation which the recruiter considers necessary or are required by law or otherwise to undertake the position, whether any expenses are payable by you as a Platform User or whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you to satisfy before taking up a position.

2. If you are a recruiter; checking the identity of the Platform User and that the Platform User 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 Platform User to take up a position.

In addition, where professional qualifications are required or where Platform Users 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 Platform User and undertake a criminal records bureau check of the Platform User. For more details of how to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, visit then Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) website.

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.

We may make changes to the terms of these terms

We amend these Platform User Terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use the Site, please check these Platform User Terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.
