eerrr actually..
Working in the industry, and working with the best you are wrong about this as your view is based on dealing with shit, probably bodyshop IT recs? am I right? no mouthy gobby shiny suited twat lasts in a decent company and the best get trained and are highly skilled in what they do.
And your skills and experience are commodity to be bought and sold like anything else of value and you are deluded to think otherwise so fuck off back to fairy dream land.
Why do think you got a job in the first place? because your nice? got a pretty face? fuck me, even someone as deluded as you can see that you are there to provide a service to your company and in return that’s why you get paid. Your qualifications, skills and experience are what your employers are buying so don’t dress it up as anything else, we work in a capitalist system where everything is commoditised.
Rec consultants will see whether you are suitable for the job and finding the best candidate for the job will provide them with an income and you are the vehicle for doing so the more placements they make the more they get paid. And if they care because if a candidate drops out within the first three months there is something called claw back where money is taken back from them and they have to provide a replacement for free so they do actually care about putting the right people in place. Also repeat business ,why spend weeks and months hard work building up trust and developing a client for doing a one off? Duh, If you are not right for the job they won't put you forward.
Having had a huge amount of experience in many organisations and seen more of how good consultants work, they actually don't behave the way you describe. If they did they would be asked to leave or more likey not recruited into the company in the first place.
in conclusion I am not looking defend the shiny suited shite or to change your mind, it seems pretty closed, just putting it out there to counter your gross generalisations.
btw it would be 'client' not 'service user' or 'mug' in your case based on the ones you have used in the past.
