REC Audited Initiate has passed the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) audit. (March 2006) The REC is the association for the £24.5 billion recruitment and staffing industry in the UK with over 6000 recruitment agencies in membership. In its drive to recognise and reward high achievers the Recruitment and Employment Confederation has pioneered the first audit scheme for the recruitment industry. Welcomed by the Department of Trade & Industry, the REC's scheme employs an independent firm of auditors to ensure that agencies are fully compliant with industry regulations and operate to the highest possible standards. Hundreds of job seekers and human resources professionals use recruitment services every day and they should have a guaranteed measure of quality. REC Audited status offers assurance that agencies are conducting their business lawfully and ethically, in full compliance with the Employment Agencies Act and Conduct Regulations 2003. Introduced in January 2005, the REC Audit is made up of 125 auditable criteria to ensure compliance with EAA 1973 and Conduct Regulations of 2003, as well as the REC Code of Good Recruitment practice and complements the DTI's own inspectorate. The audit examines a vast range of areas including; policy and certification requirements, work seeker registration, terms of engagement and payment for temporaries. The REC advises both jobseekers and companies who purchase recruitment solutions to look for the newly released REC audited logo which confirms independent assessment to the highest possible standards.
