It’s hard to be modest about this issue of Recruiter – allow me a measure of big-headedness because this March-April 2025 edition is really bangin’ – if I do say so myself (totally unbiased!).

To start with, we have the monolith of recruitment business rankings, Recruiter’s HOT 100, analysed to the nth degree by our partners and associates, Gambit Corporate Finance. The year that the recruitment industry has just completed was rough and tough, and achieving profit in this stormy weather was precisely that – an achievement. So well done to our HOT 100, and thank you to Gambit for your expertise.

And there’s more: a hard-hitting Last Word from Sid Barnes about how you should really be paying your consultants, sales insider talk from Ben Browning, a very cool My Brilliant Recruitment Career focused on Luke Davis of Matchr and expert-as-ever insight from Tara Ricks.

Get warm and let’s all look forward to spring!
