Recruitment Consultants

Q) When is a consultant not a consultant?

A) When he's a "recruitment consultant"!

The chances are that you have only ever experienced the telesales approach - particularly if you have been dealing with some of the more well known agencies that operate in the UK.

Personal attention for the employer and the candidates is impossible with typical agencies, mainly because the staff turnover in recruitment agencies is so high.

Did you know that the average recruiter changes jobs every six months?

To the mass marketers in the recruitment industry, the desires of the candidate mean nothing.

To them, the candidate becomes just another piece of paper to be shunted to any employer that might be interested in a set of key words.

To operate in the consultancy arena requires solid business knowledge, coupled with a deep enough understanding of IT and the application of IT to be able to effectively identify the correct individual for the job.

Taken a stage further, it requires deep enough knowledge to be able to accurately advise clients - not just on which candidate is best for the job - but also about how to attract top quality applications and then convert those applications into productive and profitable employees.

Choose your IT Recruiter with care and be cautious of the telesales calls that serve only to disturb your day.

Beware of envelopes and emails containing unsolicited CV's of job applicants that seem too good to be true - they usually are.

The best recruiters are the older, traditional firms with a stable, mature staff who understand IT and business. Steer clear of any IT recruiter under age 30, they don't know a computer from an elephant.
