Contractors working as
limited companies or
sole traders in the UK's legal sector could be among those to benefit from a forthcoming industry event.
The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has announced that it is to hold a meeting with members of its Legal and HR sector group.
REC said the interactive meeting, which is scheduled for October 12th, is aimed at helping show its members how recruitment agencies can work "more effectively" with human resource (HR) departments.
This could lead to a range of improvements in the industry, which could lead to better working practices for a number of UK contractors.
Martin Snell, chair of REC Legal and HR, who will host the event, said: "As talent shortages continue to intensify and resourcing becomes an increasingly strategic issue, a good relationship between recruiters and HR professionals is a business imperative.
"Fundamentally, recruitment into the legal and HR sectors has bounced back from the recession. Now is the time for recruiters to listen to their clients and to reassess how HR and agencies can work together."
