Lights, camera, action! The Independent Recruiting Group (IRG) has opened up the friendly face of recruiting to the public with a video on its new IRG Community website.

The video shows real recruiters, who run their own independent agencies, and are passionate IRG members. Although displaying great hand-held camera techniques, Steven Spielberg can sleep soundly in his bed.

What a giggle we had filming these, you are so right about Mr Spielberg!! :) The video shows exactly who we are, nobody wanted to get all suited up and be professionally videoed, that's just not the way we roll!! :) Thanks for your support Recruiter!

Friendly - tick! Passionate - tick! Real - tick!

Spielberg - bet he never thought Blair Witch would do so well either?

Thanks for the mention Recruiter, really appreciate it!

This is a real look at recruiters who hold honest, ethical values to heart. Our companies are a direct reflection of ourselves - unlike large corporations who have no real face or soul.

In these times where an amateur home video can generate literally millions of viewers on youtube in a far quicker time than any of Speilberg's movies - I feel that the public really are starting to see through all of the corporate advertising tricks.

We're not fake, we're not pretending to be something we're not... we just love recruiting, we love the lifestyles we can lead thanks to running our own small companies, and we take huge pride in looking after our clients & candidates very closely.

This video is truly refreshing to the industry and shows the IRG for exactly who they are....Real people, real recruiters. Well done to the IRG for such an innovative approach and fantastic to see such a wonderful organisation in the Recruiter !

Isn't it wonderful that there can be a fun side to recruitment? Sometimes recruitment can take itself very seriously. We are all priveleged to be in this position where often we are running so-called lifestyle businesses. However the IRG have come together to spread a serious message to our marvellous sector. To encourage and incubate best practise amongst smaller recruitment business, to empower our clients and candidates to expect an honest and ethical service and to work collaboratively as a community to ensure recruitment is changed for the better and not just for profit.
I personally had great fun being cheesy on my 7 seconds of fame and I look forward to welcoming anyone in my network (as I have already) to the IRG.
Thanks Recruiter and to "you" now , for taking time to view.
