Recruitment

The Federal Labor government will make changes that affect this topic area. For more information see Federal IR under Labor.

Recruitment is a critical procedure in any business. Statutorily regulated systems (awards and registered agreements etc) and the common law (contracts) impact on recruitment. There are also a number of statutes that impose minimum standards that have to be met in relation to any recruitment situation (eg certain equal opportunity rights).
