Meet a client in this issue of Recruiter — talent attraction manager Emma Mirrington of British Sky Broadcasting, a company that is beating back the downturn in fine form as we go to press. Emma is passionate about recruitment, and her passion is evident in our news story here and profile.

Elsewhere in the magazine you’ll find our special supplement ‘Guide to beating the downturn’. We’ve adopted the cover image from the supplement as a logo which we will use to identify features from this point on that are particularly relevant to supporting you through the current economic turmoil. Have a look at management guru Ken Blanchard’s straight talk for leaders — written especially for us — [insert link]here.

And finally, we publish a letter on p16 which takes us to task for our recent reportage on recruiter Ellis Fairbank. We disagree with some of the letter writer’s points, but what we appreciate is his expectation that we will thoroughly question our sources on your behalf.

Thank you for challenging us to continually raise our game as an independent news source.
