Training For Recruitment Businesses
Practical Legal Training — Built for Recruiters, Delivered by Solicitors
From AWR and IR35 to grievances and protected conversations — we train your consultants, managers and leadership in exactly what they need to know to stay compliant and confident.
Why Legal Training for Recruiters?
Recruiters deal with employment law risks every day — often without realising it.
Your consultants are screening candidates, discussing pay, dealing with client requests, and often operating as the face of your agency within someone else’s business.
If they don’t understand the law, your agency carries the risk.
⚠ Mismanaging AWR entitlements
⚠ Discrimination in shortlisting or candidate notes
⚠ Failing to provide a Key information document or other required documentation at the right time
⚠ Saying the wrong thing in a performance or misconduct chat
⚠ Failing to spot a legal red flag in an end client’s request
Our solicitor-led training helps your team spot the risk early, respond legally — and stay commercially smart.
