3. What could be the factors that may push us to do Unethical Practices in Recruitment?

Deadline pressure, lack of proper recruitment process, and no managerial support can lead to unethical practices.

Body Language of the Candidate, Influence, Recommendations and so on.

Recruitment is one of the most unorganized sectors in the country with large payouts, bound to fall to human greed.

Demand supply gap, recruiter background, process gap, systems loophole, political connection.

Personal Greed, improper checks and balances in the system, weak managers / Leaders are the biggest culprits.

4. Can unethical practices be easily caught by Candidates / Recruitment Agencies / Client Organisations?

Yes, you can catch easily, but for that you have to avoid manual recruitment process.

It’s not easy all the time, but yes can be caught with background check and getting in depth of details before proceeding.

Not immediately though, but yes in the long run you cannot hide such a practice.

Yes with proper checks & balance in the systems & process. People take advantage not having process and systems.

If we have a proper background check, applicant tracking system, Reference checks, then it can be caught.

5.How to prevent Unethical Practices in Recruitment?

Transparent Process, Proper laid down system of recruitment, Referral schemes and managerial support can help curb it.

Corporate governance checks need to be embedded in the processes.

Build a culture of transparency, openness & communication, create policies and practices, and train the team on hiring.

Show the consequences, select proper vendors, random data check whether process is systems driven or manual.

Keep checking billing, invoice and payment track of referral, to vendors etc To avoid Unethical practices you have to choose online recruitment software, it gives you transparency.
