Diligence in hiring now extends beyond education, experience and references. This 10-minute express course helps staff become knowledgeable about the risks of bribery and financial crime in recruitment, manage those risks effectively, and know when to seek guidance before proceeding with an appointment that raises questions.
Offering a job or internship in exchange for business advantage is a bribe, and enforcement action has been taken against firms for exactly that. Requests usually arrive informally, through a client or a well-connected contact, and feel like relationship management rather than corruption. Training hiring managers to recognise the pattern is what stops an ordinary favour becoming an offence.
