Recruitment consultants insulted by PR Man

Recruitment consultants do seem to get placed alongside some professions in a negative light. A PR expert has gone a step further comparing them to wasps.
For someone who’s job it is to build relations, I suspect Pr Man Paul Carrolls standing with recruitment consultants just went down. In an article he likens them to wasps, explaining that he believes they have no purpose. It’s a bizarre revelation on several counts. The recruitment industry is one of the fastest growing and thriving in the UK economy at present, in a market where so many are suffering badly. It seems highly unlikely that so many companies would be using recruitment consultants if they believed they served no purpose. If companies did not value their contribution, they would not go back time and time again.
As a second observation, as a layman I would have thought it was a PR man’s challenge to build bridges day to day, and not bowl them over as he appears to have done here. I would suspect if there were any recruitment consultants out there reading his comments with him on the Christmas card list, he would just have been crossed off!
