A note from the Editor
Louise has been very busy with her blog this week. Of particular interest is Insight into the shape of the UK Recruitment Market. You can have a look at and sign up to receive all Louise's articles here.

Our google+ hangout this month was “How to build a strong and credible recruitment brand” and it was one of our most interesting hangouts yet. Louise has written a comprehensive blog about it and shared the video of it here. You can find out more about future hangouts and sign up for them here.
