Recruitment sector: prohibiting the advertising of jobs exclusively in other EEA countries
We are seeking views on a new regulation which would prevent recruitment agencies advertising jobs solely in other EEA countries.
On the 9 April 2014 as part of a wider announcement on illegal working and stronger penalties for unscrupulous employers, the Prime Minister announced plans to tackle recruitment agencies that discriminate against workers in Great Britain by advertising exclusively overseas.
We are seeking views on a proposal to amend the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 (as amended) to include a new regulation which would prohibit employment agencies and employment businesses from advertising vacancies in another European Economic Area (EEA) country without also advertising in Great Britain.
