Paul Carroll, founder of Communique and now owner of Zuma 011, thinks both employers and job seekers alike should boycott recruitment consultants, whom he says are "mercenary brigands" and about as useful as wasps.
Paul says....Traffic Wardens get a very raw deal in my opinion. Why? Because they regularly feature at the head of those noisome “most hated profession” league tables that PRs love so much (ironically, PRs are also universally reviled in these rankings, normally level-pegging with Estate Agents).
But I contend that if you ran a survey among marketing professionals as to their most hated occupation, our old friends ‘recruitment consultants’ would romp home with a larger margin of victory than Usain Bolt.
