Hi Mike, totally true. When we tried to start in the industry we realised just how much the well had been poisoned by bad recruiters looking for quick bucks. HR had turned to sales and the industry was starting to get wobbly.

Thankfully we were in the graduate market, and graduate recruitment allowed us to create a niche for ourselves. Still there is nothing worse than getting shut down on the phone because people are getting annoyed with the excess crap in the recruitment industry.
