Recrutiment & Employment Confederation

A guide to help recruitment leaders develop resilience and adapt to change

We have come through times of incredible challenge and change – but there is undoubtedly more to come. Our jobs market is still the envy of many, and REC members can still find opportunity. But we can’t hide from the fact that the economic picture ahead looks more troubled.

While demand in the labour market continues, our data shows the pace of demand is now levelling off - just as you would expect as the post-pandemic sugar rush normalises. We will be watching this trend closely and giving you the data you need to navigate what lies ahead. When we hosted industry sage, Greg Savage, and a buzzing room of 150 recruiters recently, resilience in the face of unknowns was the central theme.

That’s why we have been amending some of what we are doing to bring you the best support for the months ahead. This guide brings together very practical business advice to guide you through these winds of change.
