Career Enjoyment: recruitment consultant

Recruitment consultants and/or headhunters work outside an organisation but take responsibility for part of the organisation's recruitment process. They usually get involved in the hiring of more senior staff, and perform an initial screening of applicants to provide the company with a shortlist of candidates to interview. This career tends to have salaries in the range £20-50k (based on research in the UK). Typically, therefore, it has a higher than average earnings potential.
