The pressure for the recruitment industry has never been as tough and competitive as the present date (except of course during the great depression of the 1930s). The need to deliver your best candidates on time and all of the time, screened and scrutinized to fulfill the total profile required by the customer for the candidates, then to compete against (volume) other equally qualified candidates from various other agencies can often prove disheartening for all, especially when the candidate is continually competing against many over-qualified individuals per position.
We understand that nepotism has existed for a very long time born from small family-run establishments with an interest in “keeping it in the family” to smaller independently-run businesses preferring and trusting family and relatives over outsiders. Traditionally, this has been an acceptable practice with an understanding that this is how it is and should be.
