These revolting nasty little spivs who love to talk about themselves, love to tell the world how successful they are were in the past confined to the depths of their poxy little (or big) recruitment agency, where they could be selectively ignored or simply used and chucked. They have now, shock horror,broken out of their relatively harmless enclave and escaped into the world of business.
HR people (who I generally dont have a problem with) have been duped into believing that they need to employ their own "recruitment specialists" in order to bring recruitment in house, in order to increase their knowledge of skills markets and reduce costs. What they have in fact done is to hire and (worst of all) empower many of the least successful of the scroats who have used their slimy bulltulip to worm their way into jobs paying better than they are already earning.
These people have managed to dupe employers into believing that they would take a reduction in earnings from £500,000 per annum (if you are going to exaggerate do it properly) in return for the sheer joy of seeing their employer employ fresh happy clappy new employees without the use of a nasty recruitment agency. They have convinced these mighty employers, that job security and working for a large "professional" client like Ngrid/Bgas/RBS is more important than earning shed loads of wonga working for an agency.
What is actually happening is that these companies are recruiting every failing little twerp and giving him a platform of power which he is using to tell the whole world how wonderful he/she is as well as giving him a position of power with which to kick back at an industry in which he failed. What is worse is that they are bringing with them all the baggage of their shoddy unprofessionalism; the laziness, the lack of communication skills (good at talking hopeless at listening), bottles of hair gel blocking up the desks and their stupidity.
They are also being paid a lot of money for being useless. British gas are for example paying £70k for these people (£20k more than they are paying for senior engineers) who in their previous job for the agency were probably earning around £30k and hanging on day by day, by the end of their fingernails to their jobs. If they are any good they would be earning twice that working for an agency so why would anyone who is any good want to change?
The only hope is that the internal hiring managers will get fed up with and prise them out. In the meantime we more (
) honest and professional agents have to deal with them as will direct applicants.
