Recruitment FAQs
How should I advertise a job?
If you are advertising externally, consider which publications and mediums you are going to use so as to reach the widest range of applicants.
Say that you are an equal opportunities employer.
What is the best way to defend your decision on who you hired?
• Try to be as objective as you can and avoid making unsubstantiated assumptions based on one or more of the protected characteristics such as age, race, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability and/or religion and belief.
How should I make an offer of employment?
• Consider whether to set a deadline for acceptance
• Say how the candidate should respond (to whom and whether it should be in writing)
• Make it clear that the offer is subject to proof of the candidate’s right to work in the UK and, if appropriate, to proof of examinations, that they haven’t got any restrictions on them working, a satisfactory medical examination, a clear DBS check, a clear alcohol and drugs testing and to satisfactory references
