Call made for recruitment regulation

Recruitment agency Collins McNicholas called for increased regulation and legislation and a drastic improvement in standards in the recruitment sector following the disappearance of almost 250 recruitment agencies in the space of just 12 months.

"There is a need for regulation and legislation in the recruitment sector. At present, anyone can open their own agency regardless of their level of training and expertise," said Colman Collins, joint Managing Director of Collins McNicholas.
