Do recruitment agencies really suck?

So is it all a load of BS?

Social Media killed the Recruitment star
Social media is changing recruitment and recruitment agencies. Engage in social media to win the new battle of recruitment and job searching.
Warning sign or time for a big rethink?
The number of job opportunities being created by the elusive Private sector is failing to keep up with expectations if the findings of a recent Reed Employment Agency study are to be believed.

Firstly to any followers I am sorry that I haven’t been around a great deal, however, I am now back and with even more opinions on what is right and wrong in the world of jobs, employment and at the moment the role the job hunter plays. In the UK, our biggest selling ragtop; The [...]
