Recruitment Agencies (Permanent): Market Report 2003

Recruitment organisations recruit on behalf of clients that have outsourced part, or all, of their recruitment activities. Some clients place all their recruitment needs with just one recruitment company, while others use recruitment companies for particular types of appointment, in which case they are likely to use a specialist firm in that field, e.g. IT.
