Welcome to The Global Recruiter Survey 2020. This survey has been designed to ask you to tick boxes and give answers of only a few words. It will take only a few minutes of your time.
The object of the survey is to produce a high-level overview over compliance activities and concerns among recruiters. Some questions are repeated from last year in order to give us comparable data. Others are new for this year. The results will appear in the Global Recruiter Compliance Special Issue out in March.
The results will also be shared across the industry in order to inform future compliance initiatives and to help industry bodies and organisations create and develop relevant compliance solutions and advice.
All responses will be treated confidentially and only the overall figures will be published.
