REC end investigation of Watchdog exposé recruiter

The investigation in to alleged malpractice by a London recruitment agency has been called off after the firm ceased trading.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) was looking in to the practices of Age Enterprise (trading as Connect London) following an expose by the BBC’s Watchdog programme.

The show included footage of staff at Connect London telling candidates they could only be provided with recruitment services if they paid for training courses also supplied by their business.
