Overview

So you think you know what makes a good recruitment consultant?

Why not tell us and win a free case of champagne.

Our unique and extensive research into the psyche of the UK Recruiter, which we have undertaken since1996 and now has data from over 700 recruiters, demonstrates that there are 12 personality and IQ factors which indicate high or low performance within recruiters. Whilst some of the factors appear logical, we have been surprised by others. If you can guess 9 out of the 12 factors that separate high performers from the rest, then we will give you a free case of champagne.

Just to make it a little more competitive we've added a few factors that seem to be correlated to success but are in fact irrelevant. So, just list the numbers you think are the correct factors and press the submit button. If you're correct we'll send you that case. Good Luck.

" More agencies now realising that success in the recruitment sector is correlated to personalities and competencies more than functional experience "

The ideal recruiter is born not made. Whilst we would like to know that maybe it is otherwise, a strong body of evidence suggests that it is the interplay of eleven personality factors, plus an intelligence threshold that is the elixir of success."
