The online recruitment advertising sector is going from strength to strength, but it faces a number of challenges: strong competition, a relatively low level of entry, and the need to comply with legal requirements.

 

Closely linked is the recruitment software sector which provides essential technology to recruitment businesses.  To keep ahead, recruitment software suppliers have to keep abreast of their clients' needs.  This includes understanding the legal framework within which their recruitment sector clients operate.
