Equality when Recruiting

Employers run a great risk if they fail to ensure that all applicants and candidates for employment are treated fairly, and equally. This risk results from the legal responsibilities that must be met when recruiting, and selecting employees – responsibilities that were clearly laid out in the Equality Act 2010. This course takes the Equality Act as its base, and uses it to explain and demonstrate both the legal requirements and best practices that contribute towards a credible, and effective pre-recruitment process. The duration of this course is 20 minutes and can be completed over multiple sessions. Learning objectives: • Acknowledge the importance of equal opportunities in recruitment and selection • Explain how the law views equality when it comes to recruitment • List the benefits of good recruitment and selection
