Orbital Recruitment is pleased to announce that we have recently been awarded the REC (Recruitment Employment Confederation) Audited Status. This accreditation verifies our compliance with the Employment Agencies Act and Conduct Regulations 2003 and the REC Code of Professional Practice. We decided to undertake the audit to prove our commitment to professional standards.

According to the Recruitment & Employment Confederation's latest Jobs Outlook, almost one in four (22%) of UK employers are planning to increase their use of temporary labour in the next three months. The report also shows 28% are planning to recruit more agency workers over the next 12 months.

The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) and implementation of the Agency Workers Directive is the most significant legislation ever to hit the UK’s private recruitment industry – it will change the recruitment landscape forever, starting from October 2011. As members of the REC (Recruitment & Employment Confederation) we are able to thoroughly advise best practice and a favorable route to take.
