ASCOR aim to support hirers using flexible recruitment supply chains, including those companies using job boards, recruitment agencies, gig platforms and other third party labour supply models. For the purposes of ASCOR you are defined as a hirer as soon as you have engaged or are looking to engage with a labour supplier or run your own labour supply platform.
We want to help hirers ensure their supply chains are sustainable and compliant. In order to help achieve this, there are lots of things to think about if you engage with a labour supplier.
In this section, we provide you with some very basic information on the following aspects:
Preparing your organisation – there are lots of different ways that you can hire in labour. Here we explain some of the main models in use in the current labour market to help your research as to what supply chain solution is correct for your organisation and your labour requirements.
Selecting a supply chain – once you have chosen a labour supply 'solution', you need to chose a supply chain partner – doing the right due diligence up front can save a lot of time and hassle later on.
Managing a supply chain – for example under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act there is a duty on employers to ensure a compliant and transparent supply chain. In this section, we tell you more about your obligations and about how to meet them.
Worker Voice - how to engage your workers in decision making
You can direct third party workers to SAFERjobs, or report compliance issues about recruitment agencies, concerns about the care sector, immigration issues and modern slavery concerns to the relevant bodies via ASCOR here.
