REC-Tracking-report-gif-sma.gifThe REC’s Industry Research Unit was formed in 2005 to provide improved information about the UK recruitment industry. In January 2006, the Unit launched a suite of tracking surveys with three key stakeholder audiences:

  • Agency Workers
  • Agencies
  • Employers

Each month, 100 survey responses from each group are gathered to provide a comprehensive ‘360 o’ understanding of the Industry and how it changes over time. Interviews with Agencies and Employers are conducted by telephone using a random stratified technique to ensure a representative sample. Agency Workers are sent postal questionnaires randomly selected from the books of agencies and sent to BMG Research who administer and analyse the survey on behalf of the REC. BMG Research undertake all fieldwork and data analysis for the three tracking surveys. BMG work with management consultants Cordoba Consulting to further refine and present the information.

For the first time, the results of this analysis are presented in this report. They provide a fascinating insight into the dynamics of recruitment in a year that saw continued economic growth and the advent of new legislation with significant implications for the recruitment process. In 2007 the analysis will be further strengthened as the impact of seasonality becomes more evident.

The REC is grateful to the recruitment and staffing agencies that form the Research Unit’s Steering Group. Without their financial support and leadership this research would not have been possible. Further information on members of the Steering Group can be found at (add link to sponsors)

The tracking data is structured using a balanced scorecard type approach to ensure that all aspects of the Industry are appropriately covered. This analysis focuses on the following headings:

  • Satisfaction
  • Performance
  • Growth
  • Efficiency & Value
  • Profile

These are looked at from the viewpoint of each stakeholder group, combining the data where appropriate to highlight interesting trends and relationships.
