Leading rec to rec company GSR2R has recently revealed some of what they consider to be key points for all looking to revolutionise the way that they sell after realising that a number of recruiters, although they may love their jobs struggle when pitching their businesses and services. Here are just three of the things that they urged people to consider in one of their recent blogs posts:

A new survey suggests that Brexit hit recruitment harder than most in July, with the number of people securing permanent jobs in the UK falling for two consecutive months. Created by IHS Markit are job reports on a monthly basis, collecting data from 400 UK employment and recruitment firms, and recent data shows permanent placements fell in July at the steepest rate since back in May 2009. This is definitely an effect of Brexit.

According to reports, Recruitment Consultant jobs are being highlighted as one of the top 20 top city jobs in the UK. The Glassdoor's '20 Best UK Towns & Cities to Work In for 2016' list has demonstrated that in various thriving cities throughout the UK, recruitment is coming out as the top job for many.

A whopping 73% of graduates have continued to hire as originally planned since Brexit occurred, bringing great news for graduates this year.

Reports have emerged that the UK intelligence agencies are actively recruiting more female employees in a bid to reach a target of 45% by 2021. GCHQ and MI5 placed adverts on the Mumsnet website for the first ever time in 2016 and noted the importance of higher emotional intelligence within the desired recruits whilst pushing for diversity within the organisations.

Scotland has come out as the top performer over the last quarter for specialist global recruitment company, Hayes, which has 5 offices in Scotland and over 140 recruitment consultants.

According to a recent survey conducted by Markit Data Consultancy, recruitment and salaries have recently shown an increase throughout Scotland. However, a shortage of accessible recruits has been reported to be assisting the rise of starting salaries.

A number of industry experts have been keen to comment on the rise of interest in Human Resources recruitment – especially because it promotes positions of influence which are positive. Recruiters typically work with people's talents and abilities to best fill job roles. This has been especially indicated by recent developments, including high levels of interest in The Global Recruiter UK Summit 2016, which is set to take place on the 9th March. This indicates the UK is a leading place for recruitment success, something experts GSR2R were keen to comment on.

The recent 'Barometer on Change' report from consultancy group Moorhouse is set to have big implications on both recruitment and rec to rec; as indicates that sourcing additional skill is of increasing importance to business progress strategies.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has recently released figures which show significant gains in the performance of the recruitment industry in the UK since the recession in 2008/09. Effective recruitment helps to streamline the employment process, by coordinating the best candidates to the right roles; utilised across industries – often in the form of agencies. The most recent figures show that in 2014/15 634,000 people gained a permanent role by opting for a recruiter, which means that since the recession, recruiters have helped approximately 4 million find work altogether. This suggests that recruitment is an industry going from strength to strength, especially important in the modern competitive jobs market.
