This is an ideal career for intuitive thinkers. Recruitment Consultants match an employer’s (‘client’) available jobs with a customer (‘candidate’). The match should encompass knowledge, functional skills, availability, career aspirations, salary expectations and cultural fit.

Qualifications & leading Universities

In order to become a Recruitment Consultant, formal education is preferable but not mandatory. 

Qualifications in Human Resources or in the business function for which you are recruiting is beneficial.  For example, knowledge or an understanding of accounting if you will be focusing on recruiting accountants. 

The Recruitment and Consulting Services Association (RCSA) offers relevant learning and development programs. 

The entry criteria for tertiary institiutions differs from year to year. The above comments are a guide only. To gain specific entry criteria either contact the relevant university or use Hobson's The Good University Guide.
