Does the REC publish sector coverage and turnover data on the top recruitment companies in the UK?
The REC publishes the Annual Turnover and Key Volumes survey which covers industry turnover as a whole, however we do not have information that categorises recruitment companies according to their sector coverage and turnover. Details on the top recruitment firms in the UK are available through Recruitment International publications. Their annual Top 100 report gives information on the top 250 agencies in the UK, with details of turnover, sector coverage, number of branches, number of staff etc. Plimsoll also publish a ‘Portfolio Analysis’ of the industry which contains a more detailed financial profile of individual agencies.
