Ethical Recruitment Framework
Compliance Built In. Not Bolted On.
Supporting Workers and Creating a Safe Working Environment
Corr Recruitment’s ethical recruitment framework is designed to create an environment where temporary workers feel supported, safe and confident to raise questions or concerns. Clear communication, structured compliance processes and accessible escalation routes ensure workers always know where to turn if they need support during an assignment.
Workforce Protection
In sectors where temporary labour is common, and where exploitation can sometimes occur within the wider industry, maintaining this culture of transparency and accountability is essential. Corr’s governance structure, consultant support and compliance oversight work together to ensure workers are treated fairly, feel secure in their roles and are able to speak up without hesitation if something does not feel right.
This approach ensures ethical recruitment is not simply about meeting regulations. It is about creating a working environment where people feel respected, supported and protected throughout their employment.
Workforces That Depend on Responsible Recruitment
Monitoring workforce trends helps ensure recruitment practices remain responsible, transparent and aligned with industry needs.
Governance Leadership
Corr operates with clear internal accountability and structured compliance oversight. A dedicated in-house Compliance Manager provides governance and oversight across key compliance processes, ensuring standards are consistently applied throughout the organisation. This includes oversight of:
- Right to Work verification processes
- Licence and qualification monitoring and revalidation
- Regulatory updates and policy review
- Audit preparation and documentation governance
Working closely with branch teams and operational systems, the Compliance Manager ensures that compliance processes are embedded within daily operations rather than treated as a separate or reactive function. Compliance is therefore built into how Corr operates day to day, supporting consistent standards across every placement.
Responsible Sourcing & Fair Engagement
Every assignment begins with transparent, compliant recruitment practices.
Our approach includes:
- Clear job advertising and pay transparency
- No worker-paid recruitment fees
- Written assignment confirmations
- Communication in a language workers understand
- Transparent terms and conditions
This protects workers from the very first interaction and ensures fair engagement throughout the recruitment process.
Certified Right to Work & Identity Verification
Corr uses one of the UK’s leading certified digital identity verification providers, operating as an Identity Service Provider (IDSP) and Digital Verification Service (DVS), to conduct secure and compliant identity validation. Our verification process includes
- Passport, visa and share code validation
- Digital Right to Work verification
- Driver CPC and Digi Card checks
- DVLA licence verification for safety-critical roles
- Ongoing monitoring of licences and qualifications
- Minimum two employment references
This certified digital validation process supports fraud prevention, secure remote verification and full compliance with UK Home Office guidance. All identity and eligibility checks are completed prior to placement and maintained in audit-ready format.
Structured Compliance Monitoring
Beyond initial verification, Corr maintains structured oversight throughout the worker lifecycle. Compliance monitoring is supported through a trusted and verified UK workforce management CRM platform, providing:
- AWR tracking and eligibility management
- Workforce planning and availability visibility
- Compliance dashboard reporting
- Booking and assignment oversight
- Secure document storage and audit trails
This ensures full lifecycle governance from onboarding through to assignment completion, with documentation fully traceable for client review or regulatory audit.
Governance at Scale
Managing up to 4,000 temporary workers during peak demand requires structured controls and operational visibility. Service performance never compromises legal or ethical standards. Our systems provide:
- Real-time workforce status visibility
- Ongoing eligibility monitoring
- Audit-ready reporting
- Account-level oversight
Worker Welfare & Escalation
Our ethical recruitment framework extends beyond placement. Corr maintains clear and structured escalation routes for:
- Pay queries
- Workplace concerns
- Welfare or safety issues
- Grievances or suspected exploitation
All concerns are logged, reviewed and managed through formal internal processes, ensuring workers are supported throughout their assignment.
