1.2 IMPACT OF LEGAL, REGULATORY AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS TO
THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS
Legal, regulatory and ethical factors influence the recruitment and selection process of a
company. Clarks should consider the different all the legal, regulatory and ethical consideration
in order to recruit and select the suitable candidate (Taylor, 2014).
The legal and regulatory focus possesses a great impact on the recruitment and selection
process. Equality Act, 2010, Sex Discrimination Act 2010, Employment Equality regulation 2013
is the key legislation which should be considered by clerks to recruit and select the employees.
These acts ensure that a company recruit the employees without any kind of discrimination and
treat them fairly.
Ethical factors also affect greatly to the recruitment and selection process of a company. a
company should take care of ethics while advertising, interviewing and conducting other such
activities. A company should not discriminate the employees on the basis of different factors
such as nationality, culture, custom, tradition, caste etc.
