What is rec-to-rec?

A recruiter who places other recruiters.

A rec-to-rec consultancy (also written rec2rec or rec 2 rec) moves recruitment professionals between agencies, consultants, billers, team leads, managers and GMs, not the candidates they place. In Brisbane, that means knowing the agency landscape desk by desk.

Good rec-to-rec means knowing the market cold: which Brisbane desks are warm, which comp plans pay out, and which agencies are about to grow or contract. We've spent ten years learning it.
