RecruitmentReform.org is a global online platform that strategically collates information on campaigns, policies and initiatives, events, case studies, news articles, laws, and international conventions related to recruitment. It seeks to continuously update visitors of the realities on migration recruitment and the initiatives that exist to address or in some cases exacerbate these concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is evident today that recruitment practices plays an important role in the entire cycle of migration from the initial stage of recruitment, to pre-departure training, to signing of contracts, to conciliation and repatriation. In light of this, the need for collective global initiatives that will strategically address the problems in labour recruitment has never been more crucial than today.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the last Global Forum on Migration and Development Civil Society Days (GFMD CSD) in Stockholm, a series of meetings was organized on labour migration and recruitment. Among the recommendations was to establish an Open Working Group on Labour Migration and Recruitment and to create a global knowledge-based online platform on recruitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

RecruitmentReform.org is run and managed by a small team based in the MFA Secretariat. MFA continuously adds data to the online platform and invites comments on how the online platform can be further improved. To signify interest for collaboration or if you would like to contribute relevant resource materials, please send MFA an email at mfa@mfasia.org<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
In the current global recruitment model, migrant workers pay exorbitant recruitment fees to secure low paying jobs. As a result, migrant workers typically remain indebted for as much as a year or two before they are able to earn a living wage enabling them to sustain themselves and their families. The COVID-19 pandemic has put an abrupt end to the deployment and employment of millions of migrant workers across the globe, many of which are indebted to agents, subagents, family members or small lenders back home. If there is one thing that we could learn from this crisis, it is that […]<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
