Employment Essentials: Recruitment & Onboarding Compliance

Recruitment is more than finding the right candidate – it’s about doing it the compliant right way. With complex legal obligations at every stage, it’s easy to make mistakes. 

Join Employment Hero’s Head of HR Advisory, Simon Obee, and HR Advisory Team Lead, Georgia Hare, as they break down the key legal considerations across every stage of recruitment and onboarding, including:

• Pre-employment checks: visas, medicals, and criminal records
• Interview integrity: what you can ask – and what you can’t
• Job ads and targeted recruitment 
• Withdrawing job offers: when it’s lawful and when it isn’t
• Policies to support compliant hiring
• Privacy and candidate data protection
• Giving references safely
• Compliant onboarding

Recruitment compliance doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you’re a small business handling recruitment yourself, or part of a larger team responsible for hiring at scale, this session will help you streamline hiring, meet legal requirements, and feel confident you’re getting it right every time.
