1.2 Assessing the impact of legal, regulatory and ethical considerations for
recruitment and selection process
It has been seen that the recruitment process of the companies for the employees
depend on the position available for recruitment and the individuals with the quantity
of skills to be employed. However, a number of legislations and codes of practice are
generally employed by the recruiters or the employers of the companies (Greiner et
al. 2015, p.123). These include the Data Protection Act, that employs the
confidentiality of the employees, the Equality and Diversity policies, supported by the
Equality Act, indicating the equal opportunity for the people of different castes, creed
and religion. The Sex Discriminations Act is needed to be employed by the employer
to ensure the equal opportunity for the employees of both sexes. Further, the Race
Relations Act is needed to be enforced by the Employees to minimise the racial
discriminations at the workplace and in the selection procedure (Davison et al. 2012,
p.16).
1.3 Role Play in the selection process (Refer to PPT)

process of the Area manager interview.
