If your organisation opts to advertise jobs online, it is important that the relevant Codes of Conduct are followed to ensure compliance with the UK law.

These Codes vary depending on the method used to advertise your organisation's vacancy.

Job Board

• If you choose to use a third party in the form of a job board, then you should consider ensuring your job board complies with SAFERjobs, who offer a Code of Conduct for job boards on their website here 

Using a job board that is partnered with SAFERJobs is an important and straightforward way of ensuring that your chosen job board promotes job scam awareness and takes seriously the campaign for a safer job search, thus protecting your organisation’s job applicants. Partnered job boards can be found here.

Your organisation

• If your organisation chooses to advertise its own jobs via its own website or platform, then the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) has a number of resources that you could review to ensure that your advertisements are compliant. Please take a look at their website here.

Reporting fraudulent or fake job advertisements

If you happen to see a job advertised that you believe to be fake, or that is advertised in your organisation’s name fraudulently, please report it to SAFERJobs here.
