Ethical Recruitment and Prevention of Human Trafficking
Effective date: 11 November 2026 · Next scheduled review: 11 November 2027
Tripod Partners USA, Inc. is committed to recruitment that respects individual rights, freedom of choice and fair treatment. We prohibit forced labour, human trafficking, coercion, deceptive recruitment and the withholding of identity documents.
Recruitment fees and personal documents
Our policy prohibits charging candidates recruitment or placement fees, directly or through recruitment intermediaries acting on our behalf.
Candidates retain possession and control of their passports and original identity documents. Where originals must be inspected for verification, they are returned promptly. Documents must never be withheld as security, used to enforce repayment or used to restrict a person’s movement or employment choices.
International recruitment safeguards
Candidates must receive clear information about the proposed role, location, pay, employment arrangements and material terms before accepting an offer. Any relevant costs or repayment provisions must be disclosed clearly, comply with applicable law and must not operate as prohibited recruitment fees or coercive restrictions.
Recruitment partners are expected to follow these principles. Concerns about misleading recruitment, improper charges, document retention or exploitation are escalated for investigation and corrective action.
Reporting Concerns and Accountability
Candidates, clinicians, clients and recruitment partners can raise concerns with Mike Gaspar, Chief Executive Officer, at mike.gaspar@tripodpartners.com.
Concerns are handled sensitively, with information shared only where necessary to investigate, protect individuals or meet reporting obligations. Tripod prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for oversight of this statement, supported by the recruitment, credentialing and compliance teams. These commitments are reviewed annually and following significant changes to our operations or applicable requirements.
Tripod Partners USA, Inc. operates from Texas and follows applicable United States federal and state laws. Nothing in these statements limits mandatory legal protections that apply in another jurisdiction.
