I worked as a recruitment consultant for a few years.
I did temps for a major highstreet chain. Was OK work, and because I was a good "salesman" I made plenty of commission.
As has been said higher up this post if you are working in the higher salary brackets for company with major blue chip clients it can be a very lucrative job.
Good sales skills, and tenacity are crucial. Its all about building up a good portfolio of both clients and applicants, and then matching the two together.
I have moved onto training now, but one of my best mates is in medical recruitment and does very well out of it indeed. If you are a good salesman and understand what goes into that then you will do well in recruitment.
Did you have a particular industry sector in mind?
