New recruitment guide launched

A new guide has been launched with the intention of providing advice to personnel involved in the recruitment of staff.

A collaborative effort by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), the aid highlights the need for increased understanding between recruiters and employers.

The guide, which may be of use to companies recruiting people for electronics sales jobs, includes case studies and practical tips.

Commenting on the resource, Roger Tweedy, director of research at the REC, said: "The guide marks an important next step in the professionalisation of the recruitment sector.

"Importantly it pulls the future focus of recruitment away from transactional activity to the provision of services that add real benefit to employer organisations."

A UK trade body for the recruitment industry, the REC fulfills a number of roles, including lobbying policymakers on behalf of its members.
