Ep.8 The Legal Risks in Recruitment You Must Know | Peas in a Podcast

from Peas in a Podcast · host Kay Coombs & Rebecca Beard

Think employment law obligations only kick in once someone signs a contract? Think again. In this episode of Peas in a Podcast, Rebecca and Kay unpack the minefield that is legal risk in recruitment.From discriminatory job adverts on shopfronts to the subtle ways unconscious bias sneaks into your yes and no piles, we break down the three critical stages where small business owners accidentally trip up: the terms, the assessment, and the decision.We also dive into data protection rules, the right to work checks you absolutely must run for everyone, and how a poorly worded offer letter might accidentally lock you into paying a notice period for someone who hasn't even started. It's compliance, candidate experience, and a heavy dose of common sense (minus the corporate wank).Connect with us:peasinapodconsulting.org.ukfacebook.com/piapconsultinginstagram.com/peasinapodconsultingSubscribe for weekly HR advice without the corporate wank!#Recruitment #SmallBusinessUK #EmploymentLaw #CompanyCulture #PeasInAPodcast #HRAdvice #FounderTips
