Small Business Idea- Placement Agency/ job consultancy

It has been 5 years now, that am in this profession. I must say this is the best profession that suits me. Like every business it too has its pros and cons but still I love to be a consultant.  In this profession, you have to evaluate people, their capabilities, the truth behind their words, I love the way people rely on you, the appreciation you get, if you do great job and profits.


Placement agency or a job consultancy is a term which is very much familiar with the seeker as well as giver. Placement agent act as a mediator between the employee and the employers. Their work is to identify the job requirement of the organisation and try to provide the best suitable candidate for their requirement.

Advantages



  • you are satisfied as you are helping someone.

Disadvantage

  • Most of the HRs are reluctant to share their requirements.
  • Many HRs will expect their margins, can shout at you even they have half knowledge.
  • there is lot of competition in this field.
  • candidates may treat you as customer care rather than job consultants
  • you can expect call anytime even at 2 in the night

  • or many run before completing the due said period.
