Communication and how people are treated !!

I sell a range of Applicant Tracking and On Line recruitment solutions for a living, before you all click back or next read on for a bit because this is my take on a very unscientific experiment regarding the treatment of job seekers in this time when many many people are looking for work many through no fault of heir own.

So, in the past I have been very critical or recruitment and staffing agencies and how they treat applicants, I firmly believe that in this candidate environment an good recruitment consultant should be able to" fill their boots" but day after day the recruitment pres and hr press are full of horror stories from perfectly good candidates who have applied for jobs via web sites and job boards and find them selves having to fill in reams and reams of forms travel vast distances to meet consultants who do not seem to care about them and then are put forward for totally unsuitable vacancies and never hear anything back.

Foe the next few weeks I have posted my CV to 4 major UK jobboards and I am going to monitor the response i get in the form of any calls from agents, the way they speak to / treat me, the level of service they offer and the quality of jobs they suggest I apply for. As mentioned before it's not scientific and it may not actually prove anything but it will be fun !!!

Keep reading for the updated information. Let's see if recruitment consultants are actually listening to what candidates and clients are telling them and if they are actually reacting to the changing environment that they are working in.

Believe me there is change afoot in the UK Recruitment and staffing and talent sectors, it's good stuff and people need to move and be ready for it. I will keep you posted.
