Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy
Atomic Recruitment is committed to equal opportunity principles and will continue to develop and implement strategies to ensure that all policies, practices and decisions related to its employees, as well as candidates for employment, are fair and reflect individual ability and achievement.
ATOMIC RECRUITMENT PLACES THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB
Atomic Recruitment prides itself on being an equal opportunity employer. With regard to relevant State and Commonwealth legislation, Atomic Recruitment provides equal opportunities to all employees and candidates for employment without regard to:
- Age
- Ancestry
- Colour
- Marital Status
- Physical, Intellectual, or Psychiatric Disability or Illness
- Political Stance
- Pregnancy
- Race
- Religion
- Responsibility as a Carer
- Sex/Gender

Atomic Recruitment also recognises that it is against the law to treat employees or candidates for employment unfairly or to harass them at work or while applying for work because of the sex, pregnancy, race, marital status, disability, sexuality, age or gender of any of their friends, relatives or workmates.
Discrimination is when someone:
- Behaves unfairly towards another person and/or;
- Makes an unfair decision about another person that is based on one of the reasons listed above.
ATOMIC RECRUITMENT HAS NO TOLERANCE FOR DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT IN ALL ITS FORMS
Atomic Recruitment regards all matters related to equal opportunity and harassment very seriously. Discrimination has no place in a fair and productive workplace. It affects the person discriminated against who may feel embarrassed, intimidated, angry, humiliated, anxious or even afraid. Discrimination may also result in the loss of an employment or promotion opportunity. There are two types of discrimination:
- Direct discrimination is being treated less favourably because of disability, race, religion, political opinion, sex/gender, martial status, pregnancy, age, physical features, sexuality, personal associations or social background and parental/carer responsibilities.
- Indirect discrimination may occur if an unreasonable condition, requirement or practice is imposed that has a disproportionately negative impact on a group of people due to their disability, race, gender, religion, etc.
Harassment is any form of behaviour that:
- Is unwanted.
- Offends, humiliates or intimidates.
- Targets someone because of their sex, pregnancy, race, marital status, disability, sexuality, gender, carers' responsibilities or age.
Atomic prides itself on a workplace free of harassment and discrimination. We take active steps to ensure all our employees and candidates work in an environment that engenders heightened staff morale, a greater sense of job satisfaction and a professional environment of mutual respect.
Furthermore, all employees and candidates for employment shall be protected from coercion, intimidation or further discrimination for filing a complaint or participating in the investigation of a complaint. Reprisals against an employee or candidate's right to file a complaint concerning EEO matters constitute a violation of this policy and the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
In the event that our employees or any of our candidates feel that they are being treated unfairly or being harassed, Atomic Directors urge them to report the matter immediately.
ATOMIC RECRUITMENT WILL NOT TOLERATE MISCONDUCT OF THIS NATURE. EMPLOYEES IN BREACH OF THIS COMPANY POLICY WILL BE DISCIPLINED ACCORDINGLY OR DISMISSED*
* And subject to personal legal and financial liability.
All enquiries will be treated confidentially. If you have any questions regarding this policy please contact:
