For both candidates and businesses, recruitment agencies are an essential part of the hiring process – and a good one can be worth its weight in gold.
However, the reputation of the industry has become skewed, and in fact, the standard of recruitment agencies is comparable to that of second-hand car salesmen. That’s according to Richard Hanwell, Associate Director at The Sterling Choice, who spoke to us about how recruitment agencies undermine their own reputation through unscrupulous practices.

I have worked in the industry for just over 40 years and my experience is very different to what he suggests.
The industry generates a turnover of £30 billion + per annum within the UK. - hardly likely to be achieved if what he says is true.
Perhaps a live debate at an REC, ALP or APSCO meeting would be useful.
