REC Industry Research Unit

The REC’s research agenda is critical to the future success of the recruitment industry in the UK. At a national level, the REC’s ability to robustly demonstrate the economic and social value of temporary and permanent recruitment underpins its ability to lobby effectively.  Our research also helps us to secure high-profile media coverage each month creating a powerful platform to communicate key messages to a wide audience.
