What is Recruitment to Recruitment / Rec2Rec

Recruitment to Recruitment, otherwise known as Rec2Rec is where a Recruiter finds work for another Recruitment Consultant and is a Recruitment Consultant themselves.

People outside the industry are often amazed to discover we specialise in recruiting fellow recruitment professionals, but there are reasons why this works so well…

Why use Rec2Rec?

One legitimate question would be, “why wouldn’t a recruitment agency just recruitment their own consultants since they specialise in recruitment?”.

Well, the answer comes down to specialisation and getting the best offer for the candidate.

When recruitment agencies choose a specialist ‘recruitment to recruitment’ agency to search and select recruitment professionals, they can expect a superior service than would be the case if they ‘just did the recruiting themselves’.

As ‘recruitment to recruitment’ specialists, we know exactly when and where to hunt for outstanding recruitment candidates.  If our clients specialise in the recruitment of medical staff, the time it takes the figure out the ‘rec2rec’ market is usually wasteful, given this is not a core part of their business.

Diligent agencies quickly learn the function is best left to specialists.  Indeed this thinking is at the core of their own business models.  If their own clients ‘just did the recruiting themselves’, we would have no recruitment industry in the first place!
