World Employment Conference

Initial discussions have flagged a number of major challenges for the global recruitment industry and covered specific priority areas for UK recruiters at the World Employment Conference.
Commenting from the event, Tom Hadley, the REC's Director of Policy and Professional Services says:
“This is the annual gathering of the global recruitment community. It is a great opportunity to find solutions to common challenges. So far these have included enhancing client relationships, developing cross-border activities and making the best use of new technology.
“Trends from the US and other markets will inform our own work and will be fed back to our members. The event has also enabled us to provide a UK perspective on issues such as enhancing professional standards, procurement and co-operating with public employment services.
“Initial sessions have confirmed that the industry is on the road to recovery with double-digit growth in many markets. This is an important time for the industry to come together and learn from each other.”
