Avoid the Legal & Compliance Traps in Contractor Onboarding

Whether you’re onboarding a new client or bringing a contractor into a placement, those first few steps matter. The onboarding process is not just admin — it’s where legal compliance, commercial terms, and candidate care all begin.

In this webinar Risk Collective’s, Martin Richardson, Director – Legal and Amy Towers, Director – Compliance & WHS, joins Bullhorn’s Aaron McIntosh to unpack the essential elements of a high-performing onboarding process for recruiters — covering both client and contractor onboarding.

Together, they explore how to set up your Terms of Business, contractor agreements, and WHS compliance from the outset — and how Bullhorn can streamline these tasks and help your team stay compliant without losing time or visibility.
