Protection of work-seekers and hirers
You must not introduce or supply a work-seeker to a hirer unless you’ve taken reasonable steps to make sure they’re both aware of any legal or professional body requirements for the work-seeker to take the position.
You must also check to make sure the arrangement would not be against the interests of the work-seeker or hirer.
Suitability of workers
Employment businesses
If you find out that a work-seeker might be unsuitable for the job you must:
- give the hirer that information
- make further enquiries about the work-seeker’s suitability and tell the hirer about this
If you find out that the work-seeker is unsuitable for the job you must tell the hirer straight away and stop supplying the work-seeker to them.
Employment agencies
If you introduced a work-seeker to a hirer and find out within 3 months that they may not be suitable for the job, you must tell the hirer straight away.
