Recruitment & Employment Confederation
About us
We drive standards and empower recruitment businesses to build better futures for their candidates and themselves. We are champions of an industry which is fundamental to the strength of the UK economy.
We provide legal advice, business support and training to help recruiters, and we celebrate the individuals involved in this industry, which contributes £39 billion to the UK economy.
REC members are recognised for their professionalism and the value they provide to clients and candidates. If a recruitment agency displays the REC logo, it's a sign of quality. It demonstrates that they have passed our Compliance Test and adhere to our Code of Professional Practice.
We work with recruiters and employers across the UK. Our team includes legal, compliance, policy, qualification and account management experts who have specific experience working with recruiters to help their businesses thrive.
