Complaints Policy

Hales Recruitment is committed to providing a high level service to our customers. If you do not receive satisfaction from us we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve standards where necessary.

Complaints procedure

If you have a complaint please contact our HR Manager in writing at Hales Group, Pal House, Market Place, Thetford IP24 2AH

Next Steps:

We will write to you to acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 7 working days of us receiving it.

We will start to investigate your complaint. This can involve any or all of the following steps:

• We may hold an investigation meeting with the member of staff about whom you are complaining and/or ask them to reply to your complaint in writing.
• We will examine the member of staff’s reply and the information you have provided to us
  Our HR Manager may need to contact you to discuss further details of your complaint and if so will do so in a timely manner.

We will write to you confirming the outcome of our investigations and include our suggestions for resolving the matter.  You can expect to receive this detailed response within 28 working days of your original complaint being received. If for any reason we find that the investigation may take longer than 28 working days we will write to you to inform you of the delay and provide you with an anticipated conclusion date.

At this stage, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can contact us again and a Director of the company will review the decision within 10 working days and write to you to explain why the feel the decision was correct, or to offer an alternative solution if they feel the decision was inappropriate.

If you are still not satisfied at that stage you can contact either of the following independent bodies:

• The Employment Agencies Standards Inspectorate at the Department for Business and Enterprise & Regulatory reform
• Professional Standards Team at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, 15 Welbeck Street, London, W1G 9XT
