The Changing Marketplace

Noticing a change in hiring practices by recruitment agencies begins to reflect a shift within the economy, notes recruitment to recruitment specialist Norris & Partners.

ìLast year we saw the market recruiting more staff with industry experience and training them in the recruitment process. This is now turning around as agencies tighten up their capacity to train up consultants which generally included allowing at least three to six months before they were billing. We are seeing a stronger demand for the experienced (and seasoned) recruiter who can hit the ground
running and bill immediately,î says Stevie Rose.

ìThe threat of a slowing economy seems to be affecting consultants new to the recruitment industry, who havenít seen a down turn and therefore donít seem to have the business development skills to draw on to weather this change. The good news is this can present them with opportunities for innovative approaches which will be recognised and rewardedî concludes Rose.

Norris & Partners is currently offering obligation free consultations to recruiters who are seeking an insight into this changing market and are keen to know what their career options are, and what alarm bells they should currently listen to.
