EEMA HR code of conduct

Guidelines for Ethical Hiring for EEMA Member Companies

To maintain integrity and professionalism in the recruitment process, EEMA member companies must adhere to these ethical hiring standards.

These guidelines are critical when considering candidates from other member
companies:

Maintain Confidentiality:
Respect the integrity of client-agency relationships and internal agency operations. Avoid discussions about:
- Confidential client information.
- Internal agency data, such as costs or employee details.
- Documentation brought by the candidate.
Relieving Letter Requirement:
A valid “Relieving Letter” is mandatory before hiring a candidate from another member company. This letter must clearly state:
- The last salary drawn.
- Any perks received.
This measure ensures transparency and discourages misrepresentation during the recruitment process.
Prohibit Unethical Practices:
Under no circumstances should information provided unethically by ex-employees of other member companies be used.
Report Misconduct:
Any false or misleading information provided during the interview process should be reported to EEMA. Offenders will face strict action, including blacklisting and notification to all member companies.
Blacklisted Employees:
Cases of fraud or financial misconduct, supported by verified evidence, will be reviewed by the EEMA Executive Committee. Only approved cases will be shared with member companies to ensure informed decisions.
