Of all the insights from our research with the CIPD, this one is difficult to understand. 28% of organisations train all interviewers on legal obligations.

Hiring insights in family law ⚖️ In the ever-evolving world of family law, recruitment trends in the UK are showcasing some fascinating shifts. Over the past year, there's been a noticeable uptick in demand for specialists, particularly those with expertise in complex child custody cases. In fact, recent statistics reveal a 20% increase in job postings for family law professionals compared to the previous year (source: Law Society Gazette). From my perspective as a recruiter, one of the most striking trends is the emphasis on emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Candidates who demonstrate a deep understanding of client advocacy and possess strong negotiation skills are highly sought after. It's not just about legal acumen; empathy and communication are equally critical. This shift underscores the importance of a holistic approach in handling sensitive family matters. Moreover, there's a growing openness towards flexible working arrangements within law firms. Many firms recognise the benefits of offering remote or hybrid work options, which can be particularly appealing to those balancing demanding professional roles with family responsibilities. This trend not only attracts top talent but also fosters a more inclusive and supportive work environment. #FamilyLaw #RecruitmentTrends #LegalCareers

Have you been asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement during a hiring process? We use NDAs in executive searches when maintaining confidentiality is paramount. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) play a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive information throughout the process, ensuring a foundation of trust between all parties. Here’s a breakdown of why and when NDAs are used in executive searches: Why Use NDAs? When Discretion is Key: There are many reasons why you may wish to keep an executive search process discreet. Whether you’re replacing an incumbent, isolating a search from outside influences, or not wanting your competitors to know you are in the market, an NDA can protect your brand or organisation. Protect Sensitive Business Information: Executive searches often require in-depth knowledge of clients’ internal strategies, organisational structure, and upcoming business shifts. An NDA prevents the inadvertent spread of this sensitive information, maintaining a competitive edge. Safeguard Candidate Privacy: High-level candidates often require confidentiality, especially if they’re in active roles elsewhere. An NDA provides assurance that their personal and professional details will remain secure, fostering trust and openness in discussions. When to Use NDAs? NDAs should ideally be established early in the process, either during or immediately after the initial engagement. Here’s when it’s most effective: Initial Engagement: Before detailed information is shared, NDAs should be in place to clarify what’s confidential, enabling open discussions without risk. Candidate Shortlisting: Once top candidates are identified, NDAs help ensure that sensitive candidate information and discussions remain secure and within bounds. In-depth Interviews: During later interview stages, NDAs ensure that no proprietary information about the client or insights from candidate interactions will be disclosed externally. NDAs create a secure space for executive search firms to align closely with client goals and attract top talent confidently and discreetly. They’re a core part of establishing a trusted partnership, protecting both corporate and candidate interests throughout the process.

Recent legal forums and webinars have suggested that Labours intention to introduce a 'Single Status of Worker' may not be so easy to define. However, these definitions have already been set to paper in the latest bill being read in the House of Lords (2023). The bill reads ... "295 Meaning of worker and related expressions (1) In this Act - (a)“worker” and “employee” both mean an individual who - (i) seeks to be engaged by another to provide labour, (ii) is engaged by another to provide labour, or (iii) where the employment has ceased, was engaged by another to provide labour, and is not, in the provision of that labour, genuinely operating a business on his or her own account; (b) an “employer” in relation to a worker or employee is - (i) every person or entity who engages or engaged the worker or employee, and (ii) every person or entity who substantially determines terms on which the worker or employee is engaged at any material time; (c) “employed” and “employment” mean engaged as an “employee” or as a “worker” under paragraph (a) above; (d) “contract of employment” means a contract, however described, whereby an individual undertakes to do or perform any labour, work or services for another party to the contract whose status is not by virtue of the contract that of a client or customer of any profession or business undertaking carried on by the individual, and any reference to the contract of an employee or a worker shall be construed accordingly. https://lnkd.in/eHR93RiJ Let us see what the Autumn Statement brings. Royal Assent will undoubtedly speed things up, as it always does and sadly, unintentional consequences usually play second fiddle that demands an amendment. #agencyowner #recruitmentleaders #recruitmentnews #recruitmentconsultant APSCo, Katy Rees, Eddie Austin, Andrew Houldsworth BSc, John Graham, #educationrecruitment
