The Number 1 HR Consultancy:
Advisor Partner to Open Hiring UK
Our Story
The Employment Rights Act is bringing the most significant changes to UK employment law in a generation, and we know that uncertainty can make employers cautious. That’s why Open Hiring UK has partnered with The Number 1 HR Consultancy- so that any employer considering Open Hiring can get expert, practical HR guidance from the outset.
Open Hiring is entirely legal. It does not ask employers to break the law or cut corners. It simply asks them to make their recruitment process more open – removing unnecessary barriers such as CVs and interviews for roles where they are not needed, while remaining fully compliant with UK employment legislation. As the Employment Rights Act evolves, our Advisor Partner is here to help you navigate the landscape with confidence.
