​Rec2Rec, short for Recruitment-to-Recruitment, is a specialised branch of the recruitment world. It might sound a bit meta, but it simply means a recruiter who hires other recruiters. Instead of filling client roles outside the industry, Rec2Rec consultants source and match recruitment professionals with recruitment firms that suit their skills and aspirations.

Rec2Rec thrives on relationships and deep sector knowledge.

​

Why Rec2Rec Matters for Recruitment Agencies

1. Expert Matchmaking

Every recruitment firm has its own culture, vertical (like tech, legal, renewable energy), and structure. Rec2Rec agencies excel at understanding these nuances to ensure a good fit, something internal teams might struggle with.

2. Saves Time and Hassle

Hiring internally is time-consuming: screening CVs, interviewing, evaluating culture fit… Rec2Rec takes care of all that, freeing agencies to focus on growth and client work.

3. Industry Insight

Rec2Rec consultants track salary trends, understand agency growth trajectories, and know who's quietly hiring or expanding. They bring context, so hiring decisions are informed and strategic.

4. Access to Hidden Talent

Many top-tier recruiters aren’t actively job-hunting. Rec2Rec agencies tap into these passive candidates and exclusive, unadvertised roles.

5. Confidential & Reliable

For recruiters already placed in roles, confidentiality is key. Rec2Rec maintains discretion and strong communication, ensuring the process is smooth on all fronts.
