Members area
The Society has two main categories of membership to reflect its straightforward and inclusive approach. Individual Members and Corporate Members both receive a range of Benefits, and as the Society grows in strength and influence we will aim to increase that range as often and by as much as we can. Full details of the current range of Benefits appear here on the "About Us" page - all in all we hope you will agree that an annual subscription to the Society represents excellent value for money.
The Recruitment Society LinkedIn Group can be visited here for informal discussions on topical issues.
Members Fees and Details
Non-Members & Guests
If you are not yet a member but wish to "try before you buy" you are usually welcome to attend our events by prior arrangement and at a usual cost of £25 for entry, payable strictly in advance. In addition our Summer and Christmas Social events usually carry an entrance charge per person in the range of £30-£60 for all Members and their guests. View our latest events
Hardship Membership. At the complete discretion of the Committee, the Society does occasionally offer Membership at a reduced rate to Members who are facing adverse financial circumstances. When granted, this is normally 50% of usual fees, or in extreme circumstances it can be waived (for a maximum of 1 year only.) Applications for Hardship Membership must be made by written application to the Committee and will be considered on an individual basis. In every case, the Committee's decision is final.
Individual Membership
Annual Fee: £150
(£100 for employees of Corporate Members)
See full list of Benefits on the "About Us" page.
Aside from other Benefits offered, Individual Members (MRecS) can bring one guest (not employed by the same company) to attend each speaker event at no additional charge. Further guests and work colleagues can be brought at £25 each.
Please note that Individual membership is not transferable and the Benefits apply to the named Member only.
Individual Membership (Pre-paid for Social Events)
Annual Fee: £250
Benefits as before for Individual Members (MRecS) but the "Pre-paid" category includes one ticket to the Society Summer Reception and a ticket to the Christmas Social event.
This Membership option is simply designed to accommodate those who prefer to pay one invoice rather than several during the Membership Year.
Corporate Membership
Annual Fee: £1000
See full list of Benefits as before on the "About Us" page. In addition, this fee includes:
One full membership (including all individual benefits) for a named and qualifying Member (MRecS) as well as the Corporate Membership Certificate.
Discount Membership rate for all additional employees of Corporate Members - set at £100 each
Right to corporate badge one event per annum & first refusal on hosting events
Company logo on Recruitment Society website and other relevant Society material
Dedicated annual event for Corporate members
5 tickets each for both the Summer & Christmas Social events
Opportunity to be premier sponsor of Summer Reception (or other national event) - additional fee of £4000 for this, to include 10 tickets to the event.
Overseas Individual Membership
Annual Fee: £50
Benefits as for Individual Members (MRecS) but these members must be normally non-UK residents.
This category is designed for those who have a strong affinity with the UK employment market, and wish to demonstrate their Society Membership, but who are not based in the UK at present.
