Employment Agencies and Employment
Business Regulations 2003
Jobseekers and recruiters need to be aware that this job board operates as a
venue only and does not introduce or supply work-seekers to recruiters (or vice
versa). This means that we do not:
-
obtain sufficient information for potential recruiters to
select a suitable work-seeker for the position which the recruiter seeks
to fill;
-
obtain confirmation of the identity of a work-seeker or that
they have the experience, training, qualifications or authorisation to
work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role
to be filled;
-
take any steps to ensure the work-seeker and recruiter are each
aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be
satisfied by either of them to permit the work-seeker to fulfil the
position to be filled;
-
take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to
the interests of the work-seeker or the recruiter for the work-seeker to
fulfil the position to be fulfilled;
-
give any indication to recruiters whether work-seekers are
unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any
circumstances;
-
propose work-seekers to recruiters or provide any information
about them.
-
take up any references in relation to a work-seeker; or
-
make any arrangements for accommodation of work-seekers.
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003
(the "Regulations") seek to ensure that work-seekers are only
proposed by employment agencies for roles for which they are properly qualified
and that recruiters are only offered work-seekers who have the appropriate
levels of experience, training, qualifications and authorisation for the
position to be filled. Since we are only a venue and do not propose or
introduce work-seekers to recruiters or vice versa, it is recommended that, if
you are a work-seeker you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to
ensure your suitability for the role advertised or, if you are a recruiter, to
ensure a work-seekers suitability for the role.
These could include:
-
If you are a work-seeker; checking the identity of the
recruiter and the nature of its business, the commencement date and
duration of the position, the position to be filled including type of
work, location, hours and risks to health and safety, experience,
training, qualifications and authorisation which the recruiter considers
necessary or are required by law or otherwise to undertake the position, whether
any expenses are payable by you as a work-seeker or whether there are any
requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you to satisfy before taking
up a position.
-
If you are a recruiter; checking the identity of the
work-seeker and that the work-seeker has the experience, training,
qualifications and authorisation required by law or otherwise for the
position and whether there are any requirements imposed by law or
otherwise for you, as the recruiter, to meet to enable a work-seeker to
take up a position.
In addition, where professional qualifications
are required or where work-seekers are to work with vulnerable persons or
children, you should obtain copies of the relevant qualifications or
authorisation, obtain at least two references from people who are not relatives
of the work-seeker and undertake a criminal records bureau check of the
work-seeker. For more details of how to undertake a criminal records bureau
check, please click here. Any searching or screening tools provided by us for use in your assessment
of the suitability or otherwise of any particular candidate or advertised
vacancy are to assist you in taking these steps, but are not intended as a
substitute.
Site rules
We have rules regarding the content and format of jobs posted on SEM
Recruitment. Their purpose is to ensure that users who search the site or the database
get results which are presented as clearly and informatively as possible. You
agree that we may, at our discretion and without liability to you, remove from SEM
Recruitment any advertisement which is posted in breach of these rules. The
rules may change from time to time and you are advised to refer to them
regularly.
The Rules are:
-
No duplicating of jobs at the expense of other clients' jobs.
-
No gratuitous use of keywords in job descriptions or job
titles. Gratuitous means deliberately inserting words, strings of words,
or repeating job titles, with the intention of influencing position in the
results listing, or increasing the number of page views.
-
Job advertisements placed on semrecruitment.co.uk must be for genuine
vacancies only, and not for other products or services, either relating to
or unrelated to recruitment including, but not limited to, affiliate
schemes, pyramid selling schemes or any other so called 'business
opportunity'.
URLs or email links (live or text only) are not permitted in
the body copy of the job description page. Email links are permitted from
the 'send an email' link and url linking is permitted from the 'apply
online' link.
Illegal Advertisements
Advertisements which appear to discriminate on grounds of sex, race or
disability are illegal and may result in proceedings being taken against both
the advertiser and the publisher. If we believe that an advertisement may be
discriminatory we may at our discretion either amend the advertisement or
remove it from SEM Recruitment without liability to you to make any refund of
amounts paid or due to be paid in respect of the posting or otherwise and will
inform you accordingly.
Responses to advertisements
You agree to deal fairly and professionally with individuals who may respond to
an advertisement you have posted and not do anything which may bring SEM Recruitment into disrepute. You will indemnify us from and against any claim
brought by an individual against SEM Recruitment arising from your breach of this
obligation or any other of these terms and conditions.
We do not guarantee any response to your advertisement or that responses
will be from individuals suitable for the job advertised. It is your
responsibility to carry out such checks and procedures as are necessary to
ensure that candidates are suitable for the job advertised and have the
required qualifications and personal characteristics.
Equipment
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate equipment and
are connected to the appropriate services to enable you to post jobs to SEM Recruitment
Content and links
If your advertisement links to another site via our external apply online
option, you are responsible for maintaining the links and for the content of
your advertisement and the linked site. We may remove from SEM Recruitment any
advertisement which contains content or links to a site which, in our opinion,
is defamatory, illegal or objectionable or will bring SEM Recruitment into
disrepute. You will indemnify us from and against any claims or liability
arising from content or links contained in your advertisements.
