James Parkin of Eximius guides us through ethical recruitment: common challenges and pitfalls for employers as well as success stories. We hear why the Reading  Ethical Recruitment Charter came about and how the public  sector (RBC), the business sector and Ethical Reading representing the  charity sector, collaborated on the Charter to protect job applicant from abuses like unpaid trial shifts and ‘ghosting’. James puts out a  powerful call for us all to engage with and support this initiative and urges Reading businesses to sign up to  the Reading Ethical Recruitment Charter, needed now more than ever since the COVID-19 pandemic and increased unemployment.
