The Recruitment and Employment Confederation is a membership organisation dedicated to constantly improving recruitment practice in the UK by setting standards and measuring them in annual Compliance Tests. As a Corporate Member of the REC, Apps IT has a strong focus on delivering a professional service to all those it interacts with. This is driven from Board Level with one of the founding Directors delivering Induction training for all new starters.
The REC is also a recognised awarding organisation, and all members of the Board hold an approved REC qualification or similar professional HR qualification. The annual REC Compliance test focusses heavily on current employment legislation and recruitment best practice. In the latest Compliance Test, in March 2019, Apps IT was one of the highest scorers in the UK with a score of 100%.
