Code of practice

Harling Menzies believes absolutely in integrity and discretion and we strictly adhere to a code of practice, which is recognised by the industry’s governing body R.E.C. (Recruitment and Employment Confederation) and includes:

  • Our equality and diversity policy is based on selecting the most suitable candidates for our clients, reflecting their individual needs and diversity objectives
  • Before accepting an assignment Harling Menzies must advise the client of any potential areas of conflict and our “off-limits” policy
  • Our “off limits” policy restricts any employee or appointed agent of Harling Menzies approaching any employee of a client to discuss alternative career opportunities for a period of 12 months after the completion date of the last assignment.
  • We will never re-approach a “placed” candidate.
  • We provide formal written confirmation of the assignment including costs, terms of business and anticipated timeframes
  • We do not provide candidate details to clients without the candidate’s permission
  • Full confidentiality is guaranteed
  • No candidates are submitted until their suitability is determined by a full criteria based interview
  • We provide a contractual guarantee to complete all retained assignments, unless for reasons beyond our control
