Recruiters challenged to head back to school

Split fee recruitment exchange Talent Revolt is challenging recruiters to show they know their sector by asking them to take an A Level exam relating to their sector. Founder Greig Harper commented, This week there's thousands of A Level students finishing their exams. But how many specialist recruiters can show they know more about their chosen field than an A Level student?

Before recruiters break out in a sweat remembering past exams, it's all just for fun with the exams consisting of a few questions which should take less than ten minutes to complete. Subjects include IT, Accounting and Business Studies for sales recruiters. The recruiter who comes top of the class will win a box of retro sweets featuring Kola Kubes, Gobstoppers and Refreshers bars.

The site which allows recruiters and employers to work together on split fee placements across sectors as varied as finance, IT and engineering has seen a rise in the number of roles being offered by the site over the last month. Greig said, We've seen a large rise in the number of roles posted on the site. It's probably too early to say whether this is a turning point in the recession but there's still good roles out there for strong candidates especially in the Sales and Marketing sector.

Recruiters interested in taking part can register on the site before midday Friday at:
