Specifically on the subject of recruitment fees, Compass Qatar has been continuously improving its related processes and procedures. Compass Qatar meets and often exceeds the practices outlined in the report “What is Fair and Ethical Recruitment” as set out below:

• Compass Qatar has a clear policy of "free recruitment for workers" whereby it is strictly forbidden for labour agencies to charge a recruitment fee to workers...
• Compass Qatar follows a stringent procedure that ensures that if any agency does not comply with the free recruitment policy, they are subject to penalties and/or contract termination...
• Compass Qatar regularly communicates to workers and employees that they should not pay recruitment fees throughout the recruitment and placement...

The process used by Compass Qatar to recruit, contract with and employ workers is subject to regular internal and external review to inform performance and progress, and the process is adjusted if required.

The report lists a number of recruitment companies – Compass Qatar do not work with any of these companies in Kenya.
