Winlight Compliance Team

We have been members of The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) since 2014 and share their values in our commitment to excellence within the recruitment profession. As an APSCo member we are also delighted to have attained and retained APSCo’s Compliance+ accreditation having passed our audits with flying colours year on year.

What is Compliance+?

Compliance+, developed by APSCo, is a rigorous quality standard, making the recruitment process more robust, safer and reliable. It is the best practice quality standard for recruitment businesses and compels members to go beyond statutory safeguarding standards and aim for excellence in competency selection and service quality. 

Compliance+ is designed to safeguard children and vulnerable adults and to benchmark recruitment firms against the best possible service. It was developed following extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders and was produced in response to requests from client organisations and recruitment firms looking for more meaningful compliance standards in this sector.

As part of the Compliance+ audit process, APSCo members are required to request feedback from client organisations and candidates on their experience with the member. All responses are sent directly to the APSCo Compliance+ team for review by an external auditor and will not at any point be disclosed to the APSCo member. This feedback is an important part of the audit process and fundamental to achieving accreditation.
