Spot on, James. The human element is what has the excellent recruiter stand out from the average, then and now.

The new factor is being able to successfully deal with the vastly higher expecations of both clients and candidates in this market. The world wide web has meant people expect more, better and faster – and recuitment has not been immune from that. Human influencing skills are more critical than ever for a recruiter – a skill sadly lacking, in my experience.
