Nominations for the 2014 REC Council Elections Open

Nominations for this year’s REC council elections open today April 16th and there are four corporate director and two individual director positions.

The deadline to get nominations in is May 6th and then online voting will take place between May 26th and June 16th with the results being announced at the AGM on June 18th.

Neil Smith, REC chairman, said: "Being part of the REC council means representing the industry in standards, professionalism and world class services. The range of recruiters we have on our council ensures that we are able to look at our industry from a variety of perspectives and I would encourage all members to seriously think about putting themselves or their colleagues forward."

Michael Bennett, managing director at Rethink Group, who joined the council last year said: “I originally stood for the REC council in 2013 after being recommended to by the Head of the IRP, Richard Charnock.  He suggested I get my voice on the council and help to drive certain initiatives or ideas through.  The council is very open and gives you that opportunity, as well as being a great place to network with other senior recruitment folk in the UK."

The REC’s chief executive Kevin Green says: “Our council does a terrific job leading the REC’s work to drive up professional standards in recruitment. Being part of our council is both personally and professionally rewarding and we’re looking forward to welcoming some new faces onto our governing body.”
