Because their focus is on a specific industry, they're better equipped to match make. Many general recruiters overpromise on salaries and benefits because they are out of touch with trends in the rapidly evolving IT environment.
This can be extremely frustrating and unproductive for both candidates and prospective employers. Candidates are better off with specialist recruitment consultants who are able to provide realistic perspectives because they have their finger on the pulse.
Anyone who is considering a career in IT or who is looking to advance their prospects should choose their recruitment agency carefully. Ask the confronting questions, ascertain what industry experience they have, check their credentials - after all, it's your future at stake. Circumventing recruitment consultants by finding or filling jobs using online employment services may also seem like a good idea, but in practice, there's simply no substitute for professional, face-to-face interaction.
It's about matching the right people with specific technologies, skill sets and industry sectors - and it's about adding enhanced value to both parties, ensuring an appropriate career path for candidates, securing quality personnel and uniting the right people with the right opportunities. The ability to deliver that complete package comes with years of experience and a total focus on meeting the needs of a specific industry.
