Keeping Your Placements Compliant and Your Business Protected

In the fast-paced world of recruitment, every placement is a reflection of your agency’s reputation. But with employment law constantly evolving, it’s easy for even experienced recruiters to get caught out by complex rules around contracts, worker status, and compliance checks.

We work with recruitment agencies and in-house recruiters to take the stress out of staying compliant. From drafting watertight contracts for temps, contractors, and permanent staff, to advising on tricky issues like, TUPE, and discrimination claims, we give you clear, practical guidance that protects your business and keeps placements moving. Our goal is simple: help you focus on matching the right people with the right roles — while we make sure the legal side is watertight.

How We Help You To Avoid Recruitment Pitfalls

We know the challenges because we deal with them every day:

  • Unclear contracts that leave you exposed to disputes
  • Missed right-to-work checks leading to compliance breaches
  • TUPE headaches when clients change suppliers
  • Discrimination risks in job ads, interviews, and selection processes
  • Holiday pay miscalculations for temps and zero-hours staff

These issues don’t just cause legal trouble — they can damage client trust, slow down placements, and hit your bottom line.

Our employment law support covers every stage of the recruitment process:

  • Drafting and reviewing contracts for temporary, permanent, and contract staff
  • Ensuring compliance with right-to-work checks and data protection laws
  • Managing equal opportunities and avoiding discrimination claims
  • Handling working time, holiday pay, and flexible working requests
  • Navigating TUPE transfers smoothly
