Jones Lang Lasalle in Chicago for instance has had the recruiting consultant position posted for over 7 months. They are asking consultants to apply via an online application, which for the likes of me I do not understand...why would you want to keep applicant flow for a consultant. Another firm for example wanted to run a credit check on a recruiting consultant whose project doesn't involve any fiduciary responsibility. You also have a lack of common courtesy in regards to follow up with potential consultants. Other areas of concern that I see is that when being interviewed for some consulting assignments...these organizations are having you meet with 4 to 5 people on the team and sometimes at the VP level. I now know why the economy is stagnating. Since, when does a vp have time to sit down in a 4 person interview to hire an hr consultant. What is really going on? In response to the question there a plenty of human resources consulting jobs out there however, it is getting through the maze of unintelligent full-time employees at these organizations.
