The UK recruitment sector is experiencing positive growth, with the industry expected to double its annual growth compared to previous years. Despite the potential for lucrative career paths in recruitment, many consultants lack awareness of the opportunities available to them. The Institute of Recruiters is actively working to create structured career paths for recruitment professionals, emphasizing the importance of personal development and ambition.

had just hit £600k in billings for the first time ever.

in place to develop even further.

If you are in it for the long haul and that would be my
recommendation, then you need a plan and a career path.

organisation from day one;
who can give you ongoing development and importantly
opportunities to be stretched in different parts of the
business.

seriously so much so that the IOR –Institute of
Recruiters are mapping out a career path for
ambitious recruiters and HR professionals.
This ranges from external courses and
qualifications through to encouraging recruitment
consultants to invest in their own development by
experiencing different roles within a recruitment
company.
