Fast Track 100 & Things to Ask...

There has been much talk this week about the Sunday Times Fast Track 100. We especially like the article from 4MAT.com on Three Ways to be a Recruitment Agency in the Fast Track 100.  

Recruitment companies are consistently in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100. This year has seen thirteen recruitment companies listed. Despite the double-dip-recession and the number of people out of work there are still a lot of recruitment agencies who are growing their billings and generating a healthy turnover.

The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 league table ranks Britain's 100 private companies with the fastest-growing sales over their latest three years.

Also you might want to check out an interesting article from Washing Business Journal on the “Things to ask before ... Choosing a recruiting or placement firm”.  How do you think your firm would stand up to these type of questions and are they things you should be asking and answering on your website?

Social media and mobile technology will revolutionise the recruitment industry

"Technology will be used by candidates to navigate the recruitment process and enable recruiters to explore their particular niche in the market according to a new report launched by REC Technology. 'Recruitment 2022 - The Effect of Social Media and Technology on Future Recruitment,’ examines the recruitment process from three key perspectives - candidate, hirer and recruitment agency – and highlights opportunities for change across the recruitment industry. The report shows how the recruitment process needs to adapt to the fragmenting jobs market where more candidates are choosing to work as interims and contractors and demands from hirers for flexible workers are increasing. Recruiters must demonstrate their knowledge and expertise of the area that they are working in order to engage in meaningful and influential dialogue on a personal level with the candidate. Technology will enable recruiters to communicate using their individual online personality rather than an anonymous corporate account.  The report is available free to all REC technology members who need to log into the REC website and other members and non-members can purchase the report from the REC bookshop"
