IDGM Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 My cousin has worked in IT/Engineering recruitment since leaving uni (justifies that Geography degree) 10 years or so ago. Basically, it's sales and man management. If you like doing that, then you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ah recruitment 'consultants', what a lovely career for those who can't do anything else.Seriously, there are two aspects to recruitment industry, there's the estate agent types and there's professional recruitment. One has integrity and often high financial rewards as Adam K and others mentioned, then there's the other one which is roughly equivalent to cleaning the sewers.By the way, no disrespect to the original poster, but seriously, find something else.
