"There was a lot of areas I couldn’t have prepared for by myself such as how to work with temp workers, and the laws required in good recruitment practice. Being a member provided so many essential documents and templates that covered many legal requirements, and I would have struggled to start up without them! "
Sebastian Volney Founder and Director of Jaymes Byron Talent (Start-up attendee and REC Corporate Member)
"The course compelled me to question my current approach and look for ways to improve my performance. The trainer helped develop my confidence by using hands on activities to bring out the best in everyone. Their confidence and passion for what they were teaching came across well."
Dr Majid Kiyani Consultant, Acute General Medicine (Start-up attendee)
"The REC Start-up course was well delivered by experts in their respective fields. The course was delivered by Zoom and this meant that I was able to attend the training that in other circumstances would not have normally been able to do so. The content of the course was in-depth, up-to date and engaging."
Robert Kean Managing Director, NR Recruitment Ltd (Start-up attendee)
