That's precisely why we split our permanent recruitment division down the middle.
Consultancies and Vendors tend to want a "Different type of Animal" to an end user. Consultants are expected to travel; in the main, they have high academic achievements and generally, they have not reached the pinnacle of their career - instead, they can demonstrate progressive career development over the last 2 to 5 years.
Understanding the difference between a very good candidate for an end-user and a very good candidate for a consultancy takes time and effort. With experience though, professional recruiters can spot real consultancy or vendor staff relatively quickly and efficiently.
That's why Barclay Anderson deliver to many of the major consultancies - including four out of the "Big 5" in the UK.
