Recruitment

If you are recruiting someone to work for you, equality law applies to you.

Equality law applies:

  • whatever the size of your organisation
  • whatever sector you work in
  • whether you are taking on your first worker or your hundred and first
  • whether or not you use any formal processes like application forms, shortlisting or interviewing.
