Im guessing whats happening is their bosses are asking them to spend 95% of their time cold calling potential clients to drum up new business as the market is depressed = less time to spend on resourcing candidates
I remember hearing some stat years ago - the percentage of time spent looking for new biz was 40% of the role for a recruiter - wonder what it is now
Also these recruiters are on commission so they ultimately dont care who gets the role as long as they dont bounce straight back out again
1) this guy called me - saves me having to call 100 other candidates to see if theyre free
2) chuck the dudes CV over to the client
3) back to smile and dial some random startups to see if they need Python Devs so i can get another commission on a sale
