Are organisations turning in more to fulfill their recruitment needs? Yes i think. While reasons are mulitifarious, the most important is the fact that vendors offer very little by way of value add in hiring.

Despite tall claims when they pitch for any client - stating the intent to be strategic partners in recruitment - a whole lot of firms are just in a rat race to send profiles that may not even close to what the job is meant to be. This has come to the point where HR/recruitment professionals in corporates do not hold vendors in high esteem... the attitude is now, just try to see if they can deliver.

The other reason is the immense pressure on margins of clients, impacting every cost element - and with no plausible value add, vendor rec-expenditure has come to be an unjustified cost center.

Unless the recruitment firms offer REAL value add, organisations will have no reason to live with such firms.
