Modern Slavery Statement

This statement is made in accordance with the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Commonwealth), the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, and applicable US federal and state anti-trafficking laws. It sets out the steps Source of Hire Recruitment has taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains.

Source of Hire Recruitment is a specialist recruitment agency covering Engineering and Technology across Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, and to ensuring that our recruitment practices uphold the highest standards of human rights.

Source of Hire Recruitment provides recruitment services including:

• Permanent recruitment across engineering and technology roles
• Contract and temporary staffing
• Executive search and talent acquisition
• Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO)

We operate across Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane), the United States, and the United Kingdom, and work with clients and candidates globally. As a recruitment agency, we recognise our unique responsibility to ensure ethical hiring practices throughout our operations in every jurisdiction.

As a recruitment agency operating across multiple jurisdictions, our supply chains include:

• Recruitment technology platforms and applicant tracking systems
• Job board partnerships and advertising networks
• Technology and software providers
• Office supplies and equipment
• Professional services (legal, accounting, marketing)
• Facilities management across our offices in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom

We assess all suppliers for modern slavery risks and require them to comply with our anti-slavery standards.

We have implemented the following policies to combat modern slavery:

Anti-Slavery Policy: Sets out our zero-tolerance approach
Whistleblowing Policy: Encourages reporting of concerns
Code of Conduct: Ethical standards for all employees
Supplier Code of Conduct: Requirements for all business partners
Recruitment Policy: Ensures legal right to work verification

We conduct due diligence across all aspects of our recruitment and staffing operations:

Candidates: Verifying identity, right to work, and professional qualifications for engineers, software developers, and other specialists
Clients: Assessing workplace conditions, labor practices, and hiring standards for employers using our talent acquisition services
Suppliers: Evaluating anti-slavery policies and practices across our technology and service partners

We use a risk-based approach, focusing on higher-risk sectors, geographies, and international placements.

We have identified the following potential risk areas within our recruitment and staffing operations:

• Use of temporary, contract, or agency workers placed through our staffing services
• International talent acquisition and cross-border placements
• Supply chains extending to high-risk countries
• Subcontracting arrangements in contract recruitment
• Low-wage sectors and high-volume hiring

We take enhanced measures in these areas to mitigate risks, including additional vetting for international placements and contract staffing engagements.

All employees, including recruitment consultants specialising in engineering and technology placements, receive training on:

• What modern slavery is and how to identify it during the hiring and recruitment process
• Our policies and procedures for ethical recruitment practices
• How to report concerns about candidates, clients, or supply chain partners
• The support available to victims

Training is provided during induction and refreshed annually for all staff across our Australia, United States, and United Kingdom offices.

We encourage anyone to report concerns about modern slavery:

Internal: Via our confidential whistleblowing channel at ethics@sohrecruitment.com
Australia: Australian Federal Police — afp.gov.au or call 131 237
United States: National Human Trafficking Hotline — humantraffickinghotline.org or call 1-888-373-7888
United Kingdom: Modern Slavery Helpline — modernslaveryhelpline.org or call 08000 121 700

All reports are investigated thoroughly and appropriate action taken.

We measure our effectiveness across our recruitment operations through:

• Number of recruitment consultants and staff trained
• Supplier and client audits completed
• Reports received and investigated across all jurisdictions
• Actions taken on identified issues in our staffing and talent acquisition services
• Candidate and employer feedback on ethical hiring practices

We review our approach annually and seek continuous improvement in every market where Source of Hire Recruitment operates.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Source of Hire Recruitment and will be reviewed and updated annually.
