Which of the following describes compliant recruitment practices under CTIP?

• A. Billing workers for recruitment fees with receipts kept secret.
• B. Transparent recruitment practices with no unlawful recruitment fees charged to workers and full documentation.
• C. Bypassing recruitment documentation.
• D. Charging excessive recruitment fees without disclosure.

Answer: (B)

Compliant recruitment practices under CTIP center on transparency and fairness in how workers are recruited. The best choice describes processes where no unlawful recruitment fees are charged to workers and every step is fully documented. This protects workers from debt bondage and exploitation, ensures informed consent, and creates clear accountability for recruiters and employers. Full documentation means itemized receipts, contracts in the worker’s language, and records that show exactly what fees were charged, by whom, and why. It also reflects the principle that recruitment costs should be covered by the employer or the recruiter, not the worker. Charging workers, hiding receipts, bypassing documentation, or levying excessive fees without disclosure undermine protection against trafficking and are not compliant with CTIP standards.
