The REC represents over 3,300 recruitment businesses. 80 per cent of the UK’s £32 billion industry by turnover. Also 10,800 individual recruiters through its Institute of Recruitment Professionals. REC member agencies supply workers into every sector of the UK economy. All members must abide by a code of professional practice and must take a compliance test to enter and stay in membership. The REC is committed to raising standards and highlighting excellence throughout the recruitment industry.

The REC’s Health and Social sector group includes over 450 recruitment agencies who supply clinical and non-clinical health and social care professionals to the NHS, as well as to local authorities. Our diverse membership consists of the NHS’s ten biggest staffing suppliers as well as hundreds of SMEs; what unites them is their commitment to robust compliance standards (as required through REC membership), and their dedication to providing 24/7 staffing solutions to the NHS and the broader social care sector.
