In today’s globalized economy, workers are increasingly looking for job opportunities beyond their home country in search of decent work and better livelihoods. In addition, millions of workers migrate internally in search of employment. Public and private employment agencies, when appropriately regulated, play an important role in the efficient and equitable functioning of labour markets by matching available jobs with suitably qualified workers. Despite the existence of international labour standards relating to recruitment, national laws and their enforcement often fall short of protecting the rights of workers.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an enormous impact on workers’ mobility across borders, particularly due to the imposition of strict limitations on international travel while the continuing detrimental effects on economic activity is critically impacting all workers, including migrant workers, putting them in economic peril, and endangering their health and psychosocial wellbeing.
Recruitment practices continue to adapt to COVID-19 prevention measures, which are continuously in flux. This includes shifting to online modalities, looking to recruit
nationally (e.g. unemployed migrant workers already in the labour market in the country of destination, or national workers), and preparing for safe and fair recruitment practices once travel restrictions are lifted. Throughout the pandemic, it has been demonstrated that social dialogue is essential to the successful implementation of the agreed upon measures.
Nevertheless, concerns remain about the persistence of unscrupulous employment agencies, informal labour intermediaries and other operators acting outside the legal and regulatory framework that prey especially on low-skilled workers and those desperately searching for work. Reported abuses include deception about the nature and conditions of work; retention of passports; illegal wage deductions; debt bondage linked to the repayment of recruitment fees; and threats if workers want to leave their employers, coupled with fears of subsequent expulsion from a country. A combination of these abuses can eventually result in human trafficking and forced labour often linked to other serious infringements of fundamental rights in the workplace.
The ILO’s Fair Recruitment Initiative (FRI) was launched in 2014 as part of the ILO Director General’s call for a Fair Migration Agenda. Since its launch, the FRI has been critical to ILO’s work in the area of national and international recruitment of workers and has added renewed impetus and visibility to this important topic. The second phase of the Initiative (2021-2025) is seeking to ensure that recruitment practices nationally and across borders are grounded in labour standards, are developed through social dialogue, and ensure gender equality. Specifically, they:
The 2021-2025 ILO Fair Recruitment Initiative Strategy is composed of four pillars.
THE PILL ARS OF THE “ FAIR RECRUITMENT STRATEGY ( PHASE II) ”

Pillar 2: Improving laws, policies and enforcement to promote fair recruitment

In this rapidly changing context during the COVID crisis, the ILO’s General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment and Definition of Recruitment Fees and Related Costs (GP&OG) is provides invaluable guidance on how to ensure that the recruitment process of workers, especially migrant workers, is organized in a way that respects the rights of those involved, the needs of communities of origin and destination, and takes into account the legitimate needs of employers and recruiters.
This course, based on the ILO Fair Recruitment Initiative Strategy, is a direct answer to the acknowledged need to reinforce the capacities of the ILO constituents and other key actors, in particular, within the context of exacerbated challenges created by COVID 19 pandemic.
