Overview

Responsible recruiters operate in a market where cutting corners is often commercially rational — because compliance costs money, and many actors don’t pay it. This session puts that tension on the table. Panelists are members of responsible recruiter associations in their markets, and they’ll explore what it takes to make ethical recruitment the commercially rational choice: from differentiation strategies and credentialing tools to codes of conduct and the role of industry associations.

Key questions

• How do responsible recruiters compete in a market where cutting corners is often cheaper — and what tools and strategies are helping them differentiate?
• What role can recruiter associations play in raising and enforcing standards, and what does that look like in practice?
• What would it take to make ethical recruitment the default rather than the exception?
