Root Search Group: Modern Slavery Statement

Last updated: 7th March 2026

​

1. Introduction

Root Search Group Ltd (“Root Search Group”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and with integrity in all aspects of our business.

We recognise the serious risks and human rights impacts associated with modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and exploitation. As a recruitment and search firm, we understand that our industry plays an important role in helping to promote fair and transparent employment practices.

Root Search Group has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to taking appropriate steps to prevent it within our business operations and within the services we provide.

This statement outlines the actions we take to reduce the risk of modern slavery in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.

​

2. Our Business

Root Search Group is a specialist recruitment and talent advisory firm based in the United Kingdom.

We work with organisations to identify and attract high-quality professionals across a range of sectors. Our services may include:

  • executive search and talent identification

  • permanent recruitment

  • market mapping and talent advisory

  • candidate introductions and recruitment support.

Our role is to connect organisations with qualified professionals and to support ethical, transparent recruitment processes.

​

3. Our Supply Chains

Root Search Group operates with a relatively limited supply chain compared with large organisations.

Our suppliers typically include:

  • technology and recruitment software providers

  • professional service providers (legal, accounting, and consulting services)

  • marketing and communications providers

  • administrative and operational service providers.

While the risk of modern slavery within these supply chains is considered low, we expect our suppliers to conduct their businesses in an ethical manner and in compliance with relevant labour laws.

​

4. Our Approach to Ethical Recruitment

As a recruitment firm, we recognise our responsibility to promote fair and lawful employment practices.

We aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery by:

  • working with reputable clients and organisations

  • promoting transparent hiring practices

  • ensuring recruitment processes are conducted professionally and ethically

  • raising concerns if we identify potential exploitation or unethical employment conditions.

Our consultants are expected to act responsibly and to uphold professional standards when representing both clients and candidates.

​

5. Due Diligence

Where appropriate, Root Search Group takes reasonable steps to understand the organisations we work with and the roles we support.

This may include:

  • reviewing the nature of client organisations and their recruitment requirements

  • assessing whether employment opportunities appear legitimate and compliant with relevant employment laws

  • maintaining professional judgement and awareness when supporting recruitment processes.

If concerns arise regarding employment practices, we will consider appropriate action, which may include declining to support a recruitment process.

​

6. Internal Responsibility

We expect everyone working with Root Search Group to act in a manner that supports ethical and responsible business practices.

Our team is encouraged to remain aware of potential risks associated with exploitation or unethical labour practices and to raise concerns if they encounter situations that may indicate such risks.

​

7. Reporting Concerns

Any concerns relating to potential modern slavery, unethical recruitment practices, or exploitation can be reported directly to the company using the contact details provided below.

All concerns will be taken seriously and reviewed appropriately.

​

Root Search Group is committed to continuously reviewing our approach to responsible business practices.

As the business grows, we will continue to assess our policies, processes, and partnerships to ensure they support ethical recruitment and align with best practice.

​
