ISO 30405: Guidelines on recruitment

Good practice for sourcing, screening, selecting and onboarding candidates.

ISO 30405 provides guidance on recruitment (policy, sourcing, screening, interviewing, selection and onboarding) with attention to fairness and candidate experience. We review hiring processes and align them with D&I and data protection requirements.

Who it is for

  • Talent acquisition teams
  • Recruitment agencies

What you gain

  • Fairer, more consistent hiring

How we help you apply it

  1. Maturity review

    Assess current practice against the guidance and agree what good looks like for your organisation.

  2. Framework design

    Translate the principles into a practical framework, roles and tools that fit your existing management systems.

  3. Embedding

    Workshops and coaching so teams apply the framework in day-to-day decisions.

  4. Review and reporting

    Periodic reviews and reporting that show progress to leadership and stakeholders.

ISO 30405 questions

Does it cover AI in hiring?
It sets fairness principles; for AI-based screening we add ISO 42001 controls and EU AI Act considerations, where AI hiring tools are high-risk.
