The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has been seeking feedback from industry members on how it should reform the qualifications offered through its Academy for Business.
In the workshops, recruiters admitted they are concerned about the increasingly complex regulatory requirements being applied to the sector, changing procurement procedures from clients and new ways of building relationships with customers and clients.
Judith Armatage, director of professional development at the REC, said: 'The practical input of recruiters has already proved invaluable in helping us build a world-class qualifications programme for the future.'
She added that the review has shown the skills and competencies required by recruiters are evolving to include issues such as compliance with employment legislation and how to deal with firms' in-house recruitment processes.
The REC's Academy for Business currently offers professionals the opportunity to earn certificate, diploma, bachelor and masters degrees in recruitment practice.
