A recruitment consultant is responsible for helping employer's [clients] to recruit staff for job vacancies [candidates]. These vacancies can be permanent or temporary roles, and can range from junior level staff to managers and directors. Recruitment consultants develop an understanding of their client's requirements, then identify potential staff (candidates) through existing contacts found on the Michael Page candidate data base or by advertising roles and taking the response.
