James Parkin of Eximius guides us through ethical recruitment: common challenges and pitfalls for employers as well as success stories. We hear why the Reading Ethical Recruitment Charter came about and how the public sector (RBC), the business sector and Ethical Reading representing the charity sector, collaborated on the Charter to protect job applicant from abuses like unpaid trial shifts and ‘ghosting’. James puts out a powerful call for us all to engage with and support this initiative and urges Reading businesses to sign up to the Reading Ethical Recruitment Charter, needed now more than ever since the COVID-19 pandemic and increased unemployment.
