The Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and the Recruitment Society have announced a new agreement that will allow members of each organisation to benefit from attending events run by the other.

Recruitment Society members will be granted REC member discounts for Scale Up Business Growth seminars, digital workshops, and the REC’s annual Talent, Recruitment and Employment Conference in June. REC members will now be eligible to attend a series of six events planned by the Recruitment Society over the course of the rest of 2016.

“Deepening the relationship between our two organisations will offer increased value to members through additional events and networking opportunities,” Chief Executive Kevin Green said. “Together we can promote professionalism, help members become more competitive and build the best recruitment industry in the world right here in the UK.”

"The Recruitment Society is delighted to be aligning with the Recruitment & Employment Confederation to co-promote both organisations range of events, meetings, talks, and conferences to the combined membership of both organisations and, indeed, the recruitment industry as a whole,” Recruitment Society Chair Adrian Thomas said. “This agreement allows both organisations greater reach into the industry and provides a clear platform for the promotion of best practices and industry leadership.”
