When Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, Director-General, CBI kicked off the REC2020 conference on 8 September, she talked about this being "a Darwinian moment".
For many firms, the immediate future is about survival, and clients are going through lightning-speed change. For recruitment consultants, this presents an opportunity: to move away from being a transactional or contingent supplier, and towards being a true partner who can help clients manage this period of transformation.
This theme was picked up throughout the conference. Paul Jacobs of Jump Advisory Group talked about the need for recruiters to be experts in the market and the recruitment process: "The most successful consultants are not the ones who chase money, but the ones who provide superior service."
This is even more important at a time when technology is changing the role of the recruiter. Software can help our businesses become more efficient, but it can’t replace the art of recruitment. Artificial intelligence cannot replace emotional intelligence - and that's what the best consultants bring to the table.
