Every day, around 1 million temp workers support the UK economy.

Neil and the team at the REC have elevated the way that the industry is seen by government with their skilful lobbying and engagement. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, the REC has pulled together the leading recruiters in an organised way not seen before and created a body that the Government will actually listen to .

We're in recruitment for the right reasons. I genuinely believe in what we do and want to give as much to our clients and candidates. That's why we're a part of the REC.

Ian Sackree
Chief Executive, Protocol

One of the things that I liked about the application process for the REC was the fact that you guys actually test members and that is not always the case with some membership organisations.

Graham Smith
Head of Marketing, Curo Services

A comprehensive source of information and resource empowering you and your employees whilst providing them with the ability to transform your organisation for the better.

Asher Forrester
Operations Manager, Chef On The Way

REC drives standards and opportunities in the industry. Their webinars and the access to market intelligence you get with membership is really useful. Some of that information has led to Macstaff pivoting off into extra business areas over the past 12 months.

Anthony McCormack
Managing Director, Macstaff

The REC leads the way in industry standards and best practice. This allows us to demonstrate quality assurances to our clients.

Claire Wolstenholme and Robbie Harrison
MD and Operations Director, Bennett Staff

I have found that the information I get from REC, especially the jobs report, which I fill out every month, is really useful, because when I’m sat there in front of the clients, I can talk to them about real-time information. I now have access to the regional one which is great.

Kelly Dunn
Managing Director, KD Recruitment Limited

I chose to use the REC as it is an organisation that is universally recognised. Their knowledge is second to none when it comes to employment law. Knowing you have the legal support as well as access to a library of template documents is also very useful. The process from start to finish of becoming a member was very straight forward and I was supported every step of the way with any questions I had. I am proud to show the REC logo on my website.

Kelly Knopp
Director, Southern Education Recruitment

The REC team provides an invaluable service to the UK by keeping the highest recruitment, talent and employment standards and goals front of mind to key decision makers and practitioners alike. They are more than a hub for best practice, learning and innovation. They are at the centre of the industry driving the dynamic conversations that count in so many tangible ways in real lives.

Steve Bernard
Founder, Connectwell

Our main focus when starting our business was to ensure that we get things right the first time and to hopefully minimise the risks and avoidable mistakes further down the line. Having the REC behind us gives us the reassurance and tools to ensure we are in the best possible position to achieve this.
