Following years of lobbying by the employment agencies governing body, the REC (Recruitment and Employment Confederation), Smart Group Recruitment Solutions welcome the new and improved EAA (Employment Agencies Act) legislation.
Its first update since 1976, which came into force from 6 April 2004, the EAA governs the conduct of the recruitment industry and establishes a framework of minimum standards that clients, both work-seekers and hirers, are entitled to expect.
Helen Stacey, Director of Smart Group Recruitment Solutions comments, ìWe welcome the new regulations being made within the EAA legislation as this sees the industry working together to uphold common standards for the good of the entire sector. Although elements of the legislation may be difficult to follow in practical terms, in theory we are delighted to have an updated common framework to work within to maintain our exceptional standards within the private recruitment industry.î
ìThe purpose of the legislation is twofold. It sets minimum operational standards for the industry and in doing so creates a higher ëentry levelí cost for agencies, therefore eliminating some of the ëcowboyí outfits. Professional recruiters, such as Smart Group, will greet this legislation with open arms as it can only serve to make clients and work-seekers alike more aware of the benefits of dealing with recruitment professionals.î Adds Helen.
