A Checklist for Recruiting Staff
This checklist sets out the main stages involved in recruiting a new member of staff and summarises key legal aspects of recruitment, such as avoiding discrimination and carrying out right to work checks.
The checklist does not provide information about using a recruitment agency or about hiring temporary workers or freelance contractors. These topics are covered separately in our factsheets; Choosing and Using a Recruitment Agency, Hiring Temporary Workers and Hiring a Contractor.
Employment legislation is complicated and this checklist is intended as a starting point only. Anyone who is recruiting a member of staff should always seek appropriate professional advice when necessary.
