A new recruitment agency is to be launched to specialise in recruiting HR professionals.

Annapurna HR, which will be officially launched on 10  November, will focus on recruiting HR professionals in roles ranging from administration to specialist areas such as compensation and benefits professionals, right up to HRD level.

Nigel Fox, a partner in Annapurna HR, said: "Although there has been a decline in HR recruitment over the past year, it has not been any more affected than other industries. It is well-positioned for the long term."
