Dear All,Given the vast improvements in technology and dependence of many companies on their in-house career portals, what is the future of recruitment consultancies?A lot of companies seem to be using their HR recruiters for end-to-end recruitment work, including sourcing and short listing of profiles....What do these trends portend for recruitment consultants? What about the down turn in the economy and its impact on recruitment business?Would appreciate if experienced recruiters / consultants on this forum could throw some light on new trends in recruitment and strategies to tide over unfavourable circumstances...What is the value add that a recuitment agency brings to the table?Regards,SD....
