Dear Faria,

While I do not disagree with you, I cannot completely subscribe to your opinion. You might have come across certain bad experiences though.

There could be many reasons why Corp HR behaves like the way you highlighted. Following is my understanding.

1. Brand value of their employers Vs Recruitment firm. Hence, they take you for granted.

2. They are giving you business.

3. There a 1000000s of recruitment agencies who do provide the service like you.

4. Poor quality of service. Many recruitment agencies are poor in sourcing through headhunting and other alternative methods. They HIGHLY rely on job portals and access to such database is anyway available with Corp HR.

5. Lack of proper client / relationship management from recruitment firm. I am not referring to pampering your customer here.

6. Lacking the understanding of Job description / nature of requirement and depending on pushing volumes of profiles hoping to arrive at some result.

There are many reasons for which Corp HR might be arrogant in their behavior but i strongly feel this can be changed and should be changed by recruitment community itself, by providing value service

If you what you sell is no different from what your competition does, you cannot survive, respect for your work is anyway lost.

I myself have been into recruitment for the last 5 years and have high regards for this profession.

Ravikanth
