Recruitment standards – guidance for public organisations

Here are links to a recording of the presentations of our guest speakers at our seminar on the recruitment standards which was aimed at anyone working for organisation implementing language duties and those who work in human Resources or with responsibility for recruitment. The purpose of the seminar was to share the findings of a recent review of the recruitment practices of organisations, raise awareness of the requirements of the recruitment standards, and to learn more about the practices of some specific organisation.
