A lot of recruitment redundancies

[BigDataPro]

On LinkedIn, I am seeing a lot of recruiters getting made redundant from their roles. Reed and Lorien who were on the PSL for RBS so not just the little guys.

Anyone know of any others starting to make redundancies?

There are many. When I get calls from the ones in their "last breath" to pretend they are trying, I just lend them my ears. I tend to be sympathetic, empathise and ask questions on how they generally short list candidates etc :-)

An agent rang me once saying a person at my company had recommended me. I asked who. He was adamant he couldn't reveal. I cordially said that I'd be more willing to comply if he was honest about what he wanted and that there was no recommendation. He hung up.

Ah, caught him blatently lying.. I mean, who on earth would recommend you... Horrible little agent.

Still not over my success?

why do people need recruiters anyway? Just use LinkedIn and job boards

Most of the entries on LinkedIn and job boards are posted by .... recruiters!

Can be a very lucrative business, I'm amazed that so few IT contractors don't want to become specialist recruitment agents.

How are you seeing this? Are ex-agents posting of their role being made redundant?

Most contractors I know don't have agents on their LinkedIn connections, as they just used your contacts for phishing.

Surely: "so many" or "contractors want to"?

Suddenly see a flurry of these as well, as the furlough schemes come to an end they all are being made redundant. I un-connect them immediately, what's the use of a jobless recruiter in your connections list filling up your timeline with their stories how "well" they are coping
