Once you've found your ideal candidate and made an offer of employment, you may also wish to look at our section on new starters which has useful guidance on taking up references and other checks, and ensuring the person has the right to work in the UK.
 
What's new?
  • Recruitment: the most recent Labour Market Statistics released by the ONS resulted in Mark Beatson, chief economist at the CIPD, commenting: "This month's figures have seen the recent period of sustained employment growth come to an end." If you are recruiting, do read our step by step guide!

  • Older workers: a survey by The Age and Employment Network found that 83% of jobhunters aged over 50 felt that they were regarded as 'too old' by recruiters. Only one in ten of the 800 respondents felt that age discrimination law had helped them, and some said that the repeal of the Default Retirement Age had made some organisations less willing to hire older workers. See the new guidance from the Department of Work and Pensions on employing older workers.
