The Recession

I have found these last 6 months extremely difficult in Recruitment, employer's laying off staff rather than hiring, those that are hiring are cutting costs and not using recruitment agencies, and the only vacancies being given to agencies are the very niche and hard to find skill sets.

I have found my introduction to recruitment quite tough as I started around the same time the recession did. However, having said that, even as a reasonably new Recruiter I held my own and so far I have managed to keep my head above water. The question I ask myself most days - Is recruitment what I want to do for a good length of time? The answer is I am not sure, but as things continue to improve the job does become more enjoyable.
