A Note from the Editor
We have a great #RecHangout this week entitled How to Develop your International Recruitment Capability. We will be joined by three experienced recruitment leaders, Graeme Hubert, Darren Ryemill and Ross Eades, from three international recruitment businesses, ConSol Partners, Opus Group and Horton International. It takes place at noon this Wednesday. You can find out all the details and register here.

I also came across this webinar, "Source like a Super Recruiter with Bullhorn",

It would seem that recruiters are disliked. Even internal recruiters.

How much they’re disliked will probably depend on the part of the market they work.

For example, IT recruiters are far more disliked than executive search consultants. The latter go into things in a lot more detail and tend to be more commercially mature, whereas the former are, for the most part simply spot-traders of CVs and keywords.

How much recruiters are disliked will also depend on the level of client/candidate expectation.

Sales recruiters for example, will have greater expectation put on them than the generalist/high street operators.
