The Legal Risk Score of a Recruitment Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document requires that all recruitment processes, including the use of external recruitment agencies and advertising methods, need prior approval from designated authority, which could delay the recruitment process if approvals are not managed efficiently.
- There is a risk associated with the confidentiality and privacy of candidates' information, particularly in the context of medical assessments and background checks, as the document does not detail specific safeguards for handling sensitive data.
- The policy mandates adherence to anti-discrimination laws and equal opportunity principles without providing explicit guidelines or examples of compliance, which could lead to unintentional violations if users are not well-versed in these laws.
