Day-to-day operating brief

What Recruitment Consultant work looks like in practice

A Professional Services Recruitment Consultant places legal, finance, consulting or other specialist candidates into client firms. The role handles sensitive career moves, compensation, client plans and qualifications while developing business and delivering searches. Terms should define disciplines, territory, candidate and client ownership, conflicts, fee authority, verification handover, CRM, targets, commission, guarantees and restrictions on representing candidates without consent. Candidate presentation should reflect permission for the particular vacancy or client, not a blanket assumption that a CV can be circulated indefinitely. Submission records need rate, ownership period, restrictions and material candidate statements. Incentives should not reward bypassing right-to-work, qualification or reference controls. When a placement changes or ends, the consultant should reconcile guarantee terms, invoices, candidate welfare and client feedback without promising commercial remedies outside delegated authority. Candidate interview notes should focus on role-relevant evidence and avoid unnecessary protected or private information. Where automated matching or recorded interviews are used, the consultant must follow the employer's transparency, access and human-review arrangements.
