Raising Standards in Recruitment

The REC is committed to raising standards in recruitment and our Code of Professional Practice is binding on all corporate members.

REC qualifications are key to promoting recruitment as a profession; all Individual Members must work to our Code of Ethics.

Our codes of practice set the standards that candidates and clients should expect when using an REC member. The REC can investigate complaints and pursue disciplinary action. The Professional Standards Committee can expel companies and individuals from membership. If you would like further information about our Complaint Process please click here.

Joining the REC means signing up to our standards. Our Inspection Team carry out spot-checks of members’ compliance and we offer a range of services to support members in achieving best practice.

Our services include REC Audited which acts as a health-check on business practices; Diversity Assured, which audits compliance with equality and diversity standards; and our Quality Mark award, which accredits education agencies with best practice in the supply of teachers.

Our comprehensive guidance supports members in working towards these standards, and our team of professional standards assessors are available to provide advice on all standards issues.
