Specially commissioned “Beat the recession” Research guidance
With the current recession now taking its toll across all the sectors of the UK’s economy including the recruitment industry, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) as part of its HELP programme is giving recruiters some expert guidance and advice on how to keep a step ahead. 

This is through the publication of two new research surveys, “Riding The Recession” and “7 Secrets of Successful Recruiters” both produced by the REC’s Industry Research Unit. 

Both reports give a wealth of practical advice, which is based on the experiences of professional recruiters – both those who have already been through up to three previous recessions and the industry’s high achievers whose abilities and successes are based on their numerous business skills.
