Good recruitment hub
We want you to become as successful as possible throughout the process of attracting, selecting and hiring.
To help you throughout this journey, we've collated lots of resources to give you a headstart.
The Good Recruitment Collective exists to promote the critical importance that good recruitment practices play in organisational success.
It is a network of employers who have signed the Good Recruitment Charter and are united behind one common goal of attaining recruitment best practice.
Created by employers, for employers, the Good Recruitment Collective enables organisations to review current hiring procedures and discuss practical recruitment issues.
Join today and benefit from workshops, conferences, self-assessment tools and data to help you benchmark and improve your recruitment practices – ultimately ensuring you're attracting and securing the right candidates.
The Good Recruitment Collective ensures that recruiters are working as effectively as possible with employers
This REC-run initiative was created to educate your clients on good recruitment practice and to encourage better working partnerships between employers and recruiters.
When employers join the Good Recruitment Collective, REC members are given an additional channel of content and insights coming directly from their clients.
1. Diversity & inclusion: We are fair, legal and ethical in our resource planning and recruitment procedures, with specific regard to actively promoting diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
2. Equal treatment: We exercise good recruitment practice and apply this equally to temporary, contract, interim, fixed term, zero hours and part-time workers.
3. Candidate experience: We deliver a high standard of candidate experience, with ongoing communication during the recruitment process, including two-way feedback for all those interviewed.
4. Flexible work: We offer flexible working arrangements and adaptive working practices, wherever possible, as a way of boosting inclusion and attracting talent.
5. Professional development: We ask that those managing and delivering the recruitment process (whether internal staff or external providers) work to recognised standards, undertake any relevant training/qualification, and commit to continuous development.
6. Recruitment partners: We ask that our external recruitment providers are signed up to the REC's industry codes of practice and demonstrate a commitment to good recruitment practice.
7. Supply chain: Our supply chain delivers good recruitment practice throughout, including where different resourcing models, such as recruitment process outsourcing or vendor arrangements, are in place.
8. Youth employment: We help to address youth employment through our recruitment procedures; for example, through the provision of apprenticeships and traineeships, and by working with recruitment organisations who have signed up to the REC’s Future of Jobs ambassadors programme.
9. Process improvement: We regularly review our recruitment procedures with feedback from candidates (those appointed and not appointed) and keep up-to-date with new recruitment/resourcing approaches.
Each and every one of these organisations has dedicated themselves to supporting and upholding the Good Recruitment Charter.
