Police check changes will have major impact on recruiters

New rules around police checks to apply from 1 January will have a major impact on the recruitment industry and talent acquisition teams, and will push up costs and compliance requirements, according to accredited providers. The new access regime is designed to improve data security on police check information and give candidates more control and visibility over who receives their information.

The former CEO of Opus Recruitment Solutions in Australia is seeking redundancy pay, re-purchase of his shares in the company at a higher price, and damages, alleging he was sacked under a false pretence and denied a bonus, in breach of implied good faith duties.

Comment by Sue Bourke on August 25, 2008 at 7:57pm: Hi guys - As a recruiter for over ten years and now working with a mate helping her grow her business in Asia and Australia in Rec to Rec, I would be really interested in knowing how you guys look for work or people. It is becoming more difficult to find "non jaded" recruiters who are experienced that are looking for the next challenge. What makes you take the next step? If you would like to answer this off the record my personal email address is suejanemartin@gmail.com
