A.T. Kearney: Shared services to help unlock USD$3.3 trillion in government cash worldwide

Thought Leadership
Recruiters: Consultants or agents?
Is a recruitment consultant really a consultant? Do they display any of the competencies that would normally be associated with consulting? For some time the recruitment industry has suffered from a perceived lack of ethics and with just about every professional in the UK having had experienced recruitment consultants first hand, is there are case for making recruitment more consultative?

Come again? The ultimate goal of repeat business
Generating new business absorbs a lot of time, money and human capital so if consultancies can secure repeat business from existing clients it removes the effort of finding the next piece of work, requiring significantly less up-front investment and thus offering the potential for a higher return.
(Hugh Stafford-Smith - Maconomy UK)
