Code of Conduct

Why is the LR Recruitment Code of Conduct so important?

LR Recruitment was
founded with a burning desire to shake up and reshape the recruitment industry.
We really mean it when we talk about service. It underpins everything we do and
is constantly monitored and assessed within our business. It is part of our culture,
plays a huge part in our own recruitment criteria and is central to our
systems, procedures and relationships.

The LR Recruitment Code of Conduct is the result of many years of successful
recruiting experience(in business to business and recruitment ), forming the
basis of how we aim to get the best possible outcome from the recruitment
process – for everyone.

Your LR Recruitment consultant strictly adheres to this code in the spirit of
establishing a great working relationship with you, now and into the future.
But we can’t do it alone…. we suggest that it is only when our clients and
candidates also sign up to this code that everyone gets the most out of the
recruitment process.

Our commitment to clients

1) To always offer to come to your offices to take a formal brief for each
role.

2) On appointment, to provide a written proposal confirming our understanding
of your requirements. This will include:

• our understanding of the assignment, including the role to be filled

• our understanding of the marketplace

• an outline of our approach for completing the assignment

• a timetable and key milestones

• an indication of how much potential candidates are likely to be earning

• our understanding of the salary package on offer

• the basis for our fees

• details of which members of our team will be working on the project

3) Never to undertake any assignment unless we believe we are likely to be able
to satisfy your requirements.

4) To submit a candidate’s details to you only with the candidate’s express
agreement and to ensure that the candidate is in possession of any relevant
facts and information before doing so.

5) Not to induce any employee to leave his or her employment where the employer
is a LR Recruitment client.

6) To submit a candidate to you only if adequate steps have been taken to
ensure that the candidate meets your requirements.

7) To use selection tests which are relevant, valid and properly administered
by an independent qualified person.

8 ) To keep all parties informed accurately and honestly throughout the
recruitment process, working at all times in the best interest of both the
client and candidate, providing balanced and constructive input during any
negotiations.

9) To be punctual and courteous at all times towards all parties within the
course of our business.
