Global organisation

The British Institute of Recruiters is headquartered in the UK but has a sister organisation (American Institute of Recruiters) based in Delaware, United States. Both organizations act as a route to export British recruitment standards internationally, and help promote the United Kingdom as the world's foremost and advanced authority within the recruitment and HR specialisms.

UK launch

In the UK, the organization adopts a code of conduct for recruiters that is in line with government standards regulated by the Employment Agencies Standards Inspectorate (EAS), an executive division of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). By doing so both members and non-members are required to abide by its code to avoid breaching UK laws and regulations.

Standards

The British Institute of Recruiters has developed a set of open global recruitment and HR standards for the recruitment and HR professions, supported by an international alliance of industry sector partners. A core aim of the BIoR is to promote British recruitment standards as 'World Leading', and the benchmark of professionalism for the global industry.

Partnerships

The British Institute of Recruiters has created several partnerships to allow recruiters to experience an array of services from the recruitment and HR industry elite.

Lobbying

As part of its international remit, the institute has been lobbying government in order to bring about changes to laws related to HR practitioners and recruiters.
