Welcome to The Global Recruiter’s compliance survey 2018 and thanks for taking the time to complete these questions. This survey will only take a couple of minutes, thanks for helping us to shape the future of the recruitment industry.
The object of this survey is to produce a high-level view over compliance activities and their impact on the recruitment industry. The results of this survey will be featured in the forthcoming Compliance Special Issue of The Global Recruiter published in March.
The results will also be shared across the industry in order to inform future compliance initiatives and to help industry bodies and other organisations create and develop compliance frameworks which are fit for purpose and practical for recruitment businesses.
Naturally, all responses will be treated confidentially and only the resulting overall figures will be published.
