A while back we asked for your help (via the ukrecruiter newsletter) regarding a survey that Collier Pickard were conducting into the recruitment industry to uncover current and future trends.
They have now revealed the results of the survey in a free download you can get from their website.
If you want a bit more information before you do that, a snipet from their PR reads: “The survey revealed that recruitment companies are bucking the trend towards specialisation – the old maxim “get big, get niche or get out” did not appear to be heeded by the respondents. Respondents demonstrated that they were risk averse and a sense of complacency exists. The inability to identify opportunities associated with major events re-enforced the impression that many respondents lack vision and the ability to see beyond the tactical elements of their job. Strategic thinking, planning and informed decision making were not demonstrated by the majority of the respondents.”
