Choosing an REC member is your assurance that a consultancy provides a reputable, quality service, adhering to recognised standards. The Recruitment and Employment Confederation prides itself on the high standards it sets for the recruitment industry and since both corporate and individual members adhere to a strict code of practice, candidates can expect the highest levels of professional service.
