Recruitment Agency Expo 2012 set out to present “senior recruitment professionals with a time saving one-stop opportunity to gather information and grow their knowledge of the latest developments in the industry.”

From where we were standing this was right on the money, and organiser Bluewater Events should be congratulated for delivering an event that meets the needs of the industry at a time when the economy and jobs market is at a low ebb.

The mood was generally upbeat and, encouragingly, attendance among visionaries and senior decision makers was good. We observed that a lot of start-up agencies were scouting, using the event to appraise the wide range of services in the marketplace. This is a particularly encouraging sign for the economy as small businesses and entrepreneurial flair is widely held to be the economy’s growth engine.

There were a number of exhibitors offering specialist supporting services for the industry including legal firms, marketing agencies, publishers of recruitment industry magazines as well as – you guessed it – software companies. This provides evidence that there is a strong and healthy ecosystem in place to provide the full range of service that recruiters need to meet today’s challenges.
