Description

The objective of these non-binding International Labour Organization general principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment is to inform the current and future work of the International Labour Organization and of other organizations, national legislatures, and the social partners on promoting and ensuring fair recruitment.

These principles and guidelines are derived from a number of sources. The primary sources are international labour standards and related International Labour Organization instruments. Other sources and good practices have also been consulted.

The principles and guidelines are intended to cover the recruitment of all workers, including migrant workers, whether directly by employers or through intermediaries. They apply to recruitment within or across national borders, as well as to recruitment through temporary work agencies, and cover all sectors of the economy.
