A note from the Editor
Recruitment Live, “a game-changing event designed to drive forward the industry and all those who work within it”, is a new event organised by Global Recruiter magazine. Over two days in November, recruiters will be able to meet and share ideas with industry representatives, market and technology experts and recruitment business. UK Recruiter will be hosting some fringe sessions at the event including some with RIDA (our co-hosts for the Directors events).  You can find out more information here.

The clever people at TIRA sent me a report on Insight into Applicant Trends and Behaviours this week. The main objective of this research was to evaluate what level of applications were being lost at the pre-screening/registration stage but it lead to some further significant finds and outcomes. You can find out more and download the report here.
