A recruitment or career consultant acts as an intermediary between clients looking to recruit talents and professional job hunters seeking a career move. The challenge of a recruitment consultant is to meet the needs and expectations of both the clients and the candidates to ensure a successful match.

You must have a keen eye for talents, good interpersonal and communication skills, aggressive, highly motivated and optimistic, IT savvy, resourceful, independent and also a good team player.

Qualification is secondary unless you are involved in research work. You must be able to overcome the fear of cold calling, possess good negotiation skill and the ability to influence people.
