You got a lot to learn I see!okgo what is gak?
Its cocaine for future reference.
Good luck, OP.
I hope the job is something you want to do and you get some sort of value out of. Whenever I see anything to do with "Recruitment" I think to myself - WHY??? Just why?? If whoever wanted another job why can't they find it themselves?
Seems all a bit of a bulls
tty, none job to me.

What about when a company needs to expand and fill vacancies?
Pretty naive to have your view.
Exactly, i was also sceptical but the amount of money on the table here is absolutely huge.Pretty naive to have your view.
A decent recruitment agency will shows candidates jobs they may not have known about and also do the same for clients. It really is quite big business nowadays but of course there are the standard, cold call type agencies. I'm glad i'm not working for one of those.

My current role as a contractor and my previous 2 roles all came to me via..........Recruitment Consultants. None of the roles would have been found by me as they weren't advertised. I spoke to a recruitment consultant I'm friendly with today about my next contracting role so I think I could well be placed again by a recruitment consultant.I hope the job is something you want to do and you get some sort of value out of.

tty, none job to me.OP, good luck with the new role especially at the level you're recruiting at. My Sister's boyfriend recruits Senior managers and Directors (mostly £100k + roles) within IT and it took him years to get to the level he is at.

Personally, I don't get the point of silly, petty, middle management jobs that don't really require any skill to speak of.

Thankyou very much, appreciate it. I'm not quite sure how i've managed to go in at this level apart from a pretty good education and degree. Regarding earnings... my basic is 21k but whilst I am junior I also get a cut of what the senior medical consultant makes. We basically work together on that front and coordinate heavily so we both have an impact in the deals and placements we make. He is incredibly good and at this level he is making serious, serious money. He placed a high level doctor recently and earnt the company well over 20k in one deal. So i would cautiously estimate my first year earnings at around 35k, more if i get good quickly. I feel quite lucky.OP, good luck with the new role especially at the level you're recruiting at.

Regarding the posting on PH, it was my lunch hour at the time so its no problem!
