Rec-to-rec agencies are working together to ensure they can secure business and candidates.

Simon Waters, director of rec-to-rec recruiter Waters Barnes Associates, told Recruiter:

“We are co-operating now much more now than ever before with other rec-to-recs.”

Split fee arrangements are allowing recruiters to win exclusivity with candidates, say recruiters.

Tim Connolly, director of rec-to-rec A La Carte Search and Selection, told Recruiter:

“There aren’t that many clients to go around, but if you find an amazing candidate - and there aren’t that many. You have a partner with more opportunities.”
