Hi madam,
I have worked for a consultancy for almost one year, and now I would like to apply for companies as a recruiter to enhance my skills. Now, my query is whether there will be any change in the work or will it be the same as in the consultancy?

Dear Nandy,
As an activity, it is the same, but what will differ is the pursuit of profiles. In a consultancy, you will go after profiles of various skills as you have a number of requests, probably from a number of clients (like a buffet). Whereas in an organization, it will be purely based on the skills that the company would want to use to deliver what is expected of them (like home-cooked food).
I can't get simpler than this.

Dear Nandy,
Nowadays, you always start your career with a recruitment consultancy; it is going to be the first step for most HR professionals.
In my personal view, recruitment with consultancy is good exposure. You engage in 360-degree recruitment across various sectors, providing more relevant experience when you join a specific sector company. Therefore, you have to recruit solely for them. Recruitment in any sector offers similar experiences; the key difference lies in the time-consuming aspect of the final section of recruiting a person in a company. By working closely with the Hiring Manager, you gain insights into whether a particular person will be hired or not.
Recruitment consultancy is a process that takes time and involves long follow-ups. Most companies prefer employees with extensive recruitment exposure, often gained through consultancy. Nowadays, and even in the future, companies are creating HR-recruitment profiles solely for hiring purposes, eliminating the need for other responsibilities. With the FDI policy in place, this demand is set to increase, leading to a boom in the industry for the next ten years.

Hi Raman,
My apologies for not asking clearly. My query is regarding the charges imposed by consultancies for a new hire based on the offered CTC to the employee. This charge typically amounts to a certain percentage (e.g., 7% or 8%), known as billing, and is paid by the client to the consultancy.
In the case of organizations hiring for their own positions, recruiters typically do not receive a percentage for filling those roles. Recruiters in such organizations work directly to fill job positions internally.
I hope this provides the information you were seeking. If not, I will be sure to reach out to you for further clarification.
Thank you.

Dear Nandy,
Working with a company exposes you to broader opportunities than consultancy. Consultancies earn money solely through recruitment, which is their primary business area. They provide incentives to recruiters based on their performance, but with a company, you engage in real HR work encompassing the entire generalist profile. In a company, the focus of the business is not just recruitment; they operate across various sectors. The main contributor to the financial success of a company always receives incentives.
In any company, the marketing team receives incentives, similar to how recruiters in consultancies are rewarded. However, when working directly for a company, if you are not contributing directly to the revenue, you won't receive any incentives and will be on a fixed salary. As a recruiter, your role involves selling a job to a candidate. Recruitment involves identifying talent and incorporates elements of marketing and sales. For instance, you may source 10 candidates but only hire the best one, effectively "selling" them the job.
