The REC means business - it has expelled 51 members as they did not complete the Compliance test on time.

Members are required to complete the REC Compliance Test when they join and on a two-year cycle after that. The test is an assessment of the rules and regulations that recruiters legally must follow, as well as the ethical principles contained in the REC's Code of Professional Conduct.

The organisation declined to provide to Recruiter the names of the businesses expelled.

"The Compliance Test is a key tool that helps us demonstrate that our members meet the right standards when running their business. The past 18 months have been extremely difficult, but our members have responded brilliantly, with only a few not completing the test in time," said Lorraine Laryea, recruitment standards director at the REC.
