The complete financial outsourcing provider also found that 29 per cent are setting up their own consultancies because they want to make more money. And 18 per cent say they were motivated into launching a start-up because they felt they could offer something completely different to other consultancies.

ìThe findings of the survey are testament to the dynamic nature of individuals starting-up their own consultancies,î said Brian Pursey, Managing Director, Oriel Support. ìTheyíre not simply in it for the money, they also crave the freedom to do things their own way. The current economic growth is encouraging recruitment consultants with entrepreneurial tendencies to exploit niche markets, and the recruitment sector is growing exponentially as a result.î
