Welcome to the Recruitment Industry Taskforce for Enterprise (RITE) website. Launched by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) in January 2005, RITE is the UK's first ever industry-specific enterprise support service.

When it comes to business support, we don't believe there is such a thing as a standard service; instead, we recognise that each of our clients is an individual enterprise, with individual obstacles to overcome and goals to achieve. 'One size fits all' simply does not apply to effective business support.

Published research proves that professional business support can make a real difference to a start-up business in terms of survival, cash flow and growth. Businesses that receive the correct level of support can grow 70% more in their first two years than businesses that are unsupported. In addition, when this support is sector-specific, the effect is significantly magnified*.

RITE’s aim is to channel the passion, skill, effort and direction needed to enable recruitment businesses to thrive. Whether you are a start-up looking for the intensive care of the RITE Start-Up Service, own an established recruitment consultancy and wish to make use of the RITE Consultation and Analysis Service or simply wish to utilise the RITE Toolkit for your business, you are guaranteed to find our services and products refreshingly different. Why? Because our service is designed solely for the recruitment industry and is delivered by recruitment industry professionals, who are committed to enabling you to achieve your potential.
