Forklift Driver

Modern slavery continues to be a major issue impacting millions of people around the world. And it&rsquo;s closer than you think &ndash; the latest Home Office figures suggest that there are over 12,000 potential victims of modern slavery in the UK alone. As a recruiter operating within many of the sectors believed to be most affected by slavery and human trafficking, we recognise our responsibility to raise awareness of modern slavery whilst tackling the problem of hidden labour exploitation. With Anti-Slavery Day coming up on 28th October, we wanted to share some of the key actions we&rsquo;ve got in place to protect our workers and maintain the highest ethical standards in everything we do. 
&nbsp;
Anti-Slavery Day: why it matters 
Anti-Slavery Day, established in 2010, is a crucial reminder for everyone - from government bodies and local authorities, to companies, charities, and individuals - to step up and combat modern slavery. It&rsquo;s a great opportunity to reinforce our commitment to ethical practices across all areas of recruitment. It&rsquo;s also a chance to reflect on our clear frameworks aimed at preventing exploitation and forced labour, and to consider how we can keep improving and leading by example across our industry.
&nbsp;
What&rsquo;s our approach to a safe supply chain?
Keeping our supply chain safe and ethical is a top priority. Given the complexity of our client networks, we&rsquo;ve implemented stringent measures that aim to keep every stage of the supply chain free from exploitation. Our approach is designed to prioritise the safety and welfare of our workers at every step of their journey with us.
&nbsp;
Stronger Together: One of the many external relationships we uphold with officiating bodies and associations is with Stronger Together, a multi-stakeholder initiative focused on creating a world where all workers are recruited responsibly and have fair work, free from exploitation. As an Advanced Business Partner, we&rsquo;ve demonstrated our dedication to tackling modern slavery head-on, not just in theory but in practice. We&rsquo;re constantly assessing risks, taking proactive steps to prevent exploitation and ensuring we have robust systems in place to protect and support any potential victims. Through this partnership we&rsquo;ve gained access to some fantastic resources, including multi-language leaflets for workers and informative posters in our operational locations, keeping these important messages front and centre. We also follow best practice guidelines across all aspects of our operations, reinforcing our dedication to a fair, safe, and respectful work environment.
&nbsp;
Internal employee training: Our team is our first line of defence against labour exploitation, which is why we&rsquo;ve developed a robust induction training program, combining in-branch sessions, e-learning modules, and specialised classroom training. One of our standout initiatives is a bespoke investigative interviewing skills training package, led by former GLAA investigators, to help staff spot potential signs of exploitation during the recruitment process. But we don&rsquo;t stop there - we go beyond initial training by keeping our team&rsquo;s knowledge current. All employees complete an interactive e-learning module on spotting modern slavery, refreshed annually. By investing in ongoing education, we build a culture where everyone actively prevents labour exploitation and protects vulnerable workers.
Candidate registration due-diligence: Our Recruiter Compliance Principles are more than guidelines - they're a pledge that every recruiter within our business makes to uphold the highest standards of integrity and respect for our workers. We always verify: 
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Right to work and establish the statutory excuse.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the person presenting is the person in the identity documents.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That they have full control of their own documents.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How they found out about the job.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That applicants haven't paid anyone, and won't have to pay anyone, to obtain the job.
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #242c52; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3;">For those newly arrived in the UK, that they haven't paid anyone to get here.</li>
</ul>
By signing these principles, our recruiters aren't just agreeing to a set of rules &ndash; they're joining us in our mission to create a fair, safe, and ethical working environment for everyone. 
&nbsp;
Worker welfare due-diligence: We&rsquo;ve established a robust system of welfare checks and data analysis to safeguard our workforce and identify any signs of exploitation, including:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; New starter and leaver surveys: Weekly surveys for new starters and leavers go beyond basic feedback &ndash; we delve into areas like health and safety, potential modern slavery indicators, and overall treatment, allowing us to address issues swiftly and improve our processes.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Quarterly welfare analysis: Our operational teams don't just wait for feedback &ndash; they're proactively looking out for our workers. We&rsquo;re always keeping an eye out for potential red flags, such as suspicious transportation arrangements or workers who appear isolated or in distress. Any concerns are swiftly escalated and thoroughly investigated.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Common details checks: Our compliance team perform database scans for shared bank accounts, email addresses, phone numbers, or living arrangements, and are skilled in spotting the difference between normal and potentially exploitative situations.
&nbsp;
Supplier due-diligence: We don&rsquo;t leave anything to chance with our suppliers. Before joining our Preferred Supplier List (PSL), they undergo a thorough vetting process, covering everything from financials and compliance with labour laws, to GLAA licensing (where applicable) and right-to-work checks. Once they&rsquo;re on board, we conduct annual audits and reserve the right to perform spot checks. It's all part of our commitment to maintaining a supply chain that's not just efficient, but ethical through and through. And if a supplier falls short? We're not afraid to take swift action &ndash; and that includes terminating relationships if we find any serious issues. 
&nbsp;
So, there you have it - a peek behind the curtain at how we're working tirelessly to maintain an ethical, transparent supply chain. We follow through on our promises &ndash; are you confident your current agency provider is doing the same? Because this Anti-Slavery Day is a timely reminder that in today's world, ethical practices aren't just nice to have - they're essential.
&nbsp;
If you're curious about how your supply chain measures up, or if you're looking to partner with an agency that takes ethics as seriously as you do, let's have a conversation about how we can work together - to ensure your supply chain is not just efficient, but ethically sound from end to end. After all, when it comes to fighting modern slavery and upholding workers' rights, we're all in this together. Get in touch today and let's build a better, more ethical future for everyone in our industry.

Combatting modern slavery in our recruitment practices

Let's face it - finding the perfect candidate can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. We get it. High attrition, mismatched skills, and culture clashes can make the recruitment process more of a headache than it needs to be. And there&rsquo;s a perception out there that agency providers are guilty of focusing on filling positions quickly, putting &ldquo;bums on seats&rdquo; above all else. But don't worry, that&rsquo;s not what we&rsquo;re about, and we're here to help you navigate these frustrations and find the hidden gems who&rsquo;ll not only fit right in with your team but stick around for the long haul (or at least as long as you need them).
&nbsp;
Why quality candidates are so important
Quality candidates aren't just a nice-to-have - they're essential for keeping your business running smoothly. The right workers bring a boost in productivity, handle tasks with ease, and do it all with minimal supervision. And let's not forget the long-term savings: investing in top talent now means a smaller turnover and minimal training costs down the road. Get this wrong during peak, when more temporary workers join your team to support your most crucial operational period, and those issues are magnified - disruptions, lost productivity, and higher costs, all when you can least afford them.
&nbsp;
So how do we ensure a quality workforce?
If all it took was matching skills to job descriptions, we&rsquo;d all be set, right? Good recruiters know it takes much more than that to find (and retain) quality candidates. Whether you need 1 or 1,000 workers to enhance your team, here&rsquo;s how we do it:
&nbsp;
1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Know your market, own your market
In today&rsquo;s competitive job market, quality candidates have the luxury of choice. That&rsquo;s why we start with you, our client. Before we do anything else, we need to understand your position in the local market - what you&rsquo;re doing well and where there might be room for improvement - so we can help you stand out as an employer of choice.
&nbsp;
2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; End-to-end hiring solutions
We know finding the right candidates takes more than just posting a job ad; our approach focuses on reaching the right people in the right way. Whether that&rsquo;s tapping into our extensive network, local databases, or getting your opportunities in front of active job seekers via online job boards and social media platforms, we make sure your roles are seen. But we don&rsquo;t stop there - our rigorous screening process assesses attitude, work ethic, and cultural fit, so when we put forward a candidate, you know they&rsquo;re both qualified and motivated to succeed in your team.
&nbsp;
3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pay, perks and the perfect fit
Let&rsquo;s be real, top-notch candidates aren&rsquo;t just hunting for any job - they&rsquo;re looking for opportunities that come with fair rewards. That&rsquo;s why we team up with our clients to promote competitive hourly rates and benefits, and flexible work arrangements that stand out. By offering wages and conditions that exceed industry standards, we help you attract the kind of talent that&rsquo;s not just interested in filling a shift, but motivated to perform and stay committed throughout their placement.
&nbsp;
4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Skill up and shine on
Our training doesn&rsquo;t stop at induction stage &ndash; if you need long term temporary workers at the top of their game, we offer ongoing training and development through Go1 Training, our go-to online learning platform. This keeps them updated on the latest industry trends and skills, ensuring they&rsquo;re always improving. And for you, it means a team that&rsquo;s not just performing well but is also contributing more effectively to your success. We&rsquo;ve had lots of success implementing career paths and development opportunities for high performers &ndash; your temporary workforce can help shape your future team (true story: our MD pitched to a client who recognised him as the consultant who placed them in their very first temporary position)!
&nbsp;
5. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recognise and energise
Keeping hold of great candidates is just as crucial as finding them. We work with our clients to build a work environment where employees truly feel valued. With regular feedback, incentives, and reward schemes, we help ensure your team stays motivated and loyal. The result? Lower turnover and a boost in productivity that keeps your operations running like clockwork.
&nbsp;
6. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Safe spaces, happy faces
In our sectors, safety is paramount &ndash; that&rsquo;s why we team up with our clients to create work environments where everyone feels secure and supported. Because when the workplace feels like a safe space to be, it not only builds a strong reputation but also helps attract and retain top tier candidates who can perform at their best day in, day out.
&nbsp;
It goes without saying that quality candidates are the backbone of your business&rsquo;s success. They bring the skills, commitment, and cultural fit that keep things running smoothly and drive your business forward. But finding and keeping top talent isn&rsquo;t just about luck - it&rsquo;s about having a strategic approach that covers everything from market positioning to employee engagement.
&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s where we come in. We want to take the guesswork out of recruitment and help you build a team that&rsquo;s not only your type on paper but who also just clicks with your company culture.
&nbsp;
So, don&rsquo;t leave your recruitment to chance. <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-get-in-touch/">Reach out today,</a> and let&rsquo;s get started on building your dream team &ndash; we can&rsquo;t wait to help you find the talent to take your business to the next level.

Building your dream team: why quality candidates are the game changer your business needs

<a name="_Hlk173916763"></a>All employers have a legal obligation to prevent illegal working by completing comprehensive right-to-work (RTW) checks. But it&rsquo;s a responsibility that sits with the employer, so when it comes to your temporary workers it&rsquo;s your agency supplier&rsquo;s problem, not yours, right? Wrong. Whilst the consequences of non-compliance might legally fall on the agency, the reputational damage will hit your business too. Are you confident in your supplier&rsquo;s RTW processes, or is your brand and the welfare of your temporary workers at risk?
&nbsp;
You&rsquo;ve heard about the statutory excuse &ndash; but what exactly is it?
The statutory excuse is a legal defence for employers to avoid civil penalties if they have unknowingly employed someone who does not have the right to work in the UK. By conducting the necessary RTW checks, businesses can establish the statutory excuse. 
&nbsp;
RTW checks &ndash; what you need to know
As a swift response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the Home Office allowed RTW checks to be conducted remotely when in-person meetings weren't feasible. This flexibility was granted until 6th April 2022, followed by a period of leniency which ended on 30th September 2022. Since then, there have been three approved methods for checking an employee&rsquo;s right to work:
&nbsp;
<ol>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; color: #2c2864;">&nbsp;In-person manual check for original documents</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; color: #2c2864;">The Home Office&rsquo;s online services for verifying right to work statuses</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; color: #2c2864;">Identification document validation technology (IDVT) check</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
And the consequences for non-compliance?
If you&rsquo;re an employer who is not on top of your RTW checks you could face some hefty penalties. In February this year there were updates to this Civil Penalty Notice process, adjusting how these fines are calculated:
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">A first-time offence: if it&rsquo;s your first slip-up, the fine has jumped from a maximum of &pound;15,000 to &pound;45,000 per illegal worker.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">A repeat offence: for those who&rsquo;ve had previous breaches, the maximum fine has increased from &pound;20,000 to a whopping &pound;60,000 per illegal worker.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
But employing illegal workers isn&rsquo;t just a civil matter &ndash; there&rsquo;s the possibility of criminal liability too. If an employer knew or had reasonable cause to believe that the worker didn&rsquo;t have permission to enter or remain in the UK, had overstayed their permitted period of leave, was not allowed to do they type of work they were engaged to complete, or that their documentation was in any way fraudulent, then they could face prosecution, carrying a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine!
&nbsp;
The key takeaway &ndash; stay vigilant, make sure all your documentation is in order, and work with a supplier who takes the responsibility as seriously as you do.
&nbsp;
Our RTW checking process
We utilise a thorough and multi-faceted approach to ensure all our candidates meet the necessary RTW requirements, including:
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An IDVT check via identity service provider 'GB Group PLC': The majority of RTW documents (sharecodes and valid passports) are verified through vetting technology by our trusted partner, 'GB Group PLC'. They help us verify documents quickly and securely, so you can be confident everything&rsquo;s in order without any fuss.
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A three-step manual check (for documents which cannot be checked digitally):
o&nbsp;&nbsp; Face-to-face verification: when digital checks aren't possible, we ask candidates to drop by our local branches where we&rsquo;ll review their documents in person.
o&nbsp;&nbsp; Secondary check: our internal compliance team then takes a second look to make sure everything checks out before the candidate starts work.
o&nbsp;&nbsp; Facial recognition technology: we also use facial recognition technology to compare registration photos, RTW document images, and interview images. If the match isn&rsquo;t clear-cut (below an 80% threshold), our compliance team steps in for a closer look.
&nbsp;
Why RTW checks are crucial
RTW checks aren&rsquo;t just about dodging fines - there are plenty of other great reasons to make them a priority in addition to helping us spot and prevent illegal working in the UK. They:
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Ensure compliance with the GLAA licensing standards.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Meet our requirements under the Conduct Regulations 2003.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Are part of processes that mean people working in the UK are less likely to become victims of exploitation.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Protect both our brand and those of our clients.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Maintain compliance with many of our audit requirements.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Our performance in numbers
In the past 12 months we have:
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Received 73,000 applications</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #2c2864; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Progressed almost 23,000 applications to RTW check:

Catching the imposters
One of the big things we focus on in our RTW process is spotting fraud. And, thanks to our thorough checks, we catch up to 10 imposters trying to register every week. So, you see, being proactive really pays off and helps us protect both ourselves and our clients from the risks of hiring illegal workers.
&nbsp;
Here at gap, our meticulous RTW checks do more than just keep you in line with immigration laws &ndash; they also protect your business from legal and reputational headaches. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and thorough manual checks, we provide a seamless and secure service that you can trust. Is it time to trust us with your recruitment needs?
