  1. Dear Viv,
    An interesting article but open to so much debate, primarily about the competence of many employees when conducting interviews. On several occasions I have been interviewed by an employer that I wouldn’t even consider employing if the roles were reversed. It seems that too many recruitment consultants are happy to just earn fees from a commission instead of identifying the true requirements of the business and matching the ideal candidate. This is often exacerbated by the enthusiasm of youth and paucity of experience culminating in “a sale” which satisfies shareholders or directors and the consultants bonus.
    It has been a while since I have seen professionalism and attention to detail within the recruitment process.
    Understanding the Client’s real requirements and the candidate’s experience is a skill that develops with years of experience and builds strong Client relationships thereby building stronger business ties and recommendations.
    This business is so “people focused” and not just about targets and bonuses. Good effective businesses are built on reputation and people. I would be happy to discuss further and share experiences if this appeals.

    Kind regards
