The Problem We're Solving

Cross-border recruitment is a hard process

Workers are charged fees they were never meant to pay. In this way contracts change after they arrive, passports may be taken away and promises made in one country don't match the reality in another.

Employers want to operate in a fair way, but to improve current processes they have to have insights on what the current status is and what the most urgent points of improvements are. This apears to be very hard since agents and sub-agents in the source countries often operate without oversight.

Governments and NGOs are aware of the risks, but most departments often lack the tools and data to monitor what's happening across borders in a structured way.

Recruiters operate in a system with no shared standards, where good actors are indistinguishable from bad ones. The problem is not that people do not care. It's that the infrastructure for fair recruitment is very unclear for those unexperienced in a new country.

What Fairlink Does

Fairlink provides transparency in recruitment and throughout the employment journey

We've built three integrated platforms that work together to make recruitment safer and more accountable at every stage of the journey.

MyFairlink (for workers)
A digital guide and community platform that helps workers understand their rights, prepare safely for work abroad, store their documents, and connect with others on the same journey. Free for every worker, in their own language.

Fairlink Track (for employers and recruiters)
A compliance and visibility tool that helps employers and recruitment partners document the full recruitment process (e.g., fees, contracts, timelines, responsibilities) and generate evidence of fair practices for auditors, investors, and regulators.

Fairlink Community (for everyone)
A support hub that connects workers to trusted services in destination countries: affordable remittances, insurance, financial literacy, healthcare guidance, and more.

Key Commitments

What Fairlink Stands For

Transparency above all

Every step is tracked and documented. Workers see what they're being promised before they leave. Employers can see the full recruitment journey.

Worker Rights First

Based on international fair recruitment principles (ILO standards). No large worker-paid fees. Contracts in workers' native languages. Clear reporting channels if something goes wrong.

Built on Proven Experience

Founded by Tristan Forster, who built FSI Worldwide (15+ years of ethical recruitment leadership). Partnerships with ILO, IOM, national labor ministries, and NGOs globally. Tested with real workers, employers, and governments.

Realistic, Not Perfect

Fairlink doesn't guarantee every job or every employer is perfect. Fairlink helps make it easier to see what's happening and report unfair practices. Fairlink supports employers and governments to move toward and demonstrate fair recruitment standards.
