Rec2Rec Hiring Services
Recruitment Talent. Hired Properly.
Recruitment Talent. Hired Properly.
Finding the right person isn’t always about finding the CV with the most experience.
Sometimes you need a proven recruiter who can strengthen an established desk. Sometimes you need somebody at the beginning of their career with the attitude, commercial awareness and potential to develop. And sometimes the right hire comes from outside recruitment altogether.

Hiring Recruitment Talent Is Different
Two consultants with the same number of years in recruitment can have completely different levels of responsibility, market exposure and commercial performance.
When we're recruiting experienced professionals, we want to understand the detail.
That includes areas such as:
-
Desk & Market
What market do they recruit into? Is the desk temporary, permanent, contract or a combination? How established is their candidate and client network?
-
Business Development
Are they managing existing accounts, developing dormant relationships or winning entirely new business?
-
Performance
What does their billing history look like? What targets are they working towards? How much ownership do they have over their desk?
-
Recruitment Model
Have they worked within a 360 environment, delivery model, account-management structure or another recruitment model?
-
Motivation
Why are they considering leaving? Is the issue progression, earning potential, management, market conditions, flexibility or something else?
-
Long-Term Fit
What environment allows them to perform at their best, and does that align with what your business can realistically offer?
Hiring for Potential?
When you're recruiting graduates or career movers, traditional experience-based hiring criteria can quickly become restrictive. Instead, we work with you to identify which capabilities are genuinely essential from day one and which can be developed through training.
For a trainee recruitment role, for example, direct Rec2Rec experience may not be necessary.
Commercial drive might be. Communication might be. Resilience probably is.
By separating trainable experience from underlying capability, businesses can access a much broader talent pool without lowering their hiring standards.
How We Support Your Hiring Process
1. Understand the Requirement
Before searching, we want to understand what you're actually trying to achieve.
That means discussing the role, team, market, expectations, progression, package, culture and the characteristics that distinguish somebody who will succeed in your business.
2. Identify the Right Talent Pool
Do you need proven experience?
Could a high-potential graduate work?
Would somebody from another commercial sector bring the skills you need?
We help determine which candidate market gives you the strongest opportunity to make the right hire.
3. Search & Engage
We actively speak with relevant candidates rather than relying solely on applications.
For Rec2Rec assignments, this means engaging recruiters who may not be actively applying for jobs but would consider the right opportunity.
For graduate and career-mover vacancies, we assess motivation and transferable skills alongside previous experience.
4. Qualify
Candidates are spoken to before being introduced.
We assess their experience, motivations, expectations and suitability while making sure they properly understand your opportunity.
5. Manage the Process
From initial introduction through interviews, feedback, offer management and acceptance, we keep both sides informed throughout the recruitment process.
6. Support the Hire
Our objective isn't simply to generate CVs.
It is to help you make a hire that makes sense for your business and for the candidate joining it.
