Recruitment Firms riding a wave..

..and fees seem to be getting fatter.

The feedback I'm getting from agencies and clients is that recruitment firms are raking in the deals at the minute, with ever increasing fees being earnt. This is normal in a growing market, but I do find it strange that so few major employers have realised they can employ internal head-hunters.

Sure firms are looking to technology to take on some of that role, but time and again they fail to let recruiters conduct true research assignments, they get too quickly drawn into admin tasks or 'special projects' and before you know it they too have to contract an agency to do their recruitment job for them.
