Carlisle-based Riverside Recruitment has been awarded a gold standard certification from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC).

Riverside Recruitment has also been awarded a Gangmasters Licence after a two-day audit by the Gangmasters Licencing Authority which resulted in a 100% pass mark.

Nick Stobbs, director of Riverside Recruitment, says: “There are over two million temporary staff in the UK employment market, so it is vital that there are stringent industry standards in place.

“We are delighted that after rigorous scrutiny by the GLA and the REC we have been found to be upholding these standards in every aspect of our business,” he says.
