The Word is not Enough!

Recruitment Consultancy in most peoples’ eyes involves the successful introduction of a candidate to a company resulting in an agency earning a fee.

But this isn’t Consultancy!

Consultancy is about providing advice, in this case about how to best approach recruitment, irrespective of where the candidates eventually come from.

In the old days the way you best served your client was by finding and delivering the right candidate. Nowadays, in spite of the fact that agencies are in a shrinking market, fortunately there’s much more to talk to clients about.

The options and choices hiring companies must consider to remain recruitment competitive are complex and demanding: In-House? Agency? RPO? ATS? Facebook? Twitter? Mobile?

Consultancy is about helping these companies get the best blend of resources, optimising their effectiveness and syncing them with internal resources. It’s about delivering the best recruitment outcomes.

Recruitment is evolving.

Calling yourself a “Consultant” is not enough.

If you choose to do so, you have to become a Consultant.
