When you’re choosing a recruitment partner, you’re not just looking for someone who can fill vacancies. You want confidence that your recruitment partner is professional, compliant and committed to doing things the right way.

At Riverside Recruitment, we’re proud to hold a Fair Work Agency (FWA) licence. It’s something we take seriously because it’s more than a licence – it’s a commitment to high standards, ethical recruitment and protecting both our clients and the people we place.

What is a Fair Work Agency licence?

The Fair Work Agency (FWA) has taken over the licensing responsibilities previously carried out by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA).

This licence is required for businesses supplying workers into regulated sectors including agriculture, horticulture, shellfish gathering, and food processing and packaging.

Holding this licence means we meet strict legal and compliance requirements and are regularly assessed to ensure we continue to operate to those high standards.

What does that mean for you?

Quite simply, it gives you peace of mind.

When you work with Riverside Recruitment, you can be confident that you’re partnering with a recruitment agency that understands the importance of compliance, ethical recruitment and looking after workers properly.

For your business, this means:

• Confidence that you’re working with a fully licensed recruitment partner where required.
• Reduced risk through compliant recruitment practices.
• A trusted partner that understands the legislation affecting regulated sectors.
• Protection for your business reputation by working with an agency committed to doing things properly.
• A recruitment partner that values fairness, transparency and professionalism.

Supporting businesses across regulated sectors

If your business operates within agriculture, horticulture, food processing or food packaging, using a licensed recruitment agency isn’t just good practice – it’s an important part of meeting your own responsibilities.

Whether you need temporary seasonal workers or permanent members of staff, we have the knowledge, experience and compliance processes to support your recruitment needs first time, every time.

Recruitment with integrity

At Riverside Recruitment, we’ve always believed recruitment is about more than simply filling vacancies. It’s about building relationships, understanding your business and providing recruitment solutions you can rely on.

Our Fair Work Agency licence reflects the standards we’ve always aimed to uphold – honesty, professionalism, care and doing the right thing.

As part of our expanded recruitment group, we’re now able to combine these values with greater resources, wider candidate networks and enhanced support, while continuing to offer the personal service our clients know and trust.

If you’re looking for a recruitment partner that combines trusted relationships with recognised compliance and expertise, we’d be delighted to help, get in touch with our experts today.
