As recruitment consultants often get bad press, we thought we could write a poem to help remind us of their qualities we all love so much!!
In the realm of jobs, where chaos resides,
Recruitment consultants take us for rides.
With their calls and emails, they cast their net,
But sometimes, communication? We haven’t met!
Oh, recruitment agents, elusive birds in flight,
Your phone rings and rings, but you’re nowhere in sight.
You promise updates, but they’re lost in the haze,
Like a fax machine lost in a bygone craze.
Their knowledge of jobs, we often question,
As they match engineers with a love for confection.
“Sure, a chef in an office, what could go wrong?”
But we’d rather not whip up spreadsheets all day long!
“Take this role, it’s perfect,” they persistently plead,
But it’s not what we want; it’s not what we need.
They’re like car salesmen with charisma untamed,
Selling ice to Eskimos, oh, they’re never ashamed!
So, here’s to the consultants, with puns and jest,
We chuckle and grin, though sometimes we’re stressed.
They may have their quirks, but let’s not forget,
Without their help, some great jobs we may not have met!
