A consultant (from the Latin consultare means "to discuss" from which we also derive words such as consul and counsel) is a professional who provides advice in a particular area of expertise such as management, accountancy, the environment, entertainment, technology, law (tax law, in particular), human resources, marketing, medicine, finance, life management, economics, public affairs, communication, engineering, sound system design, graphic design, or waste management.

A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge of the subject matter. A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients. Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consultants as a check to the Principal-Agent problem.

'Consultant' is also the term used to denote the most senior medical position in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland (e.g., a consultant surgeon).

Are there any placement consultants in India who can schedule job interviews in software field?
Q. Hi All, Is there any Job consultants who can assist us in getting a job offer from any overseas country (canada, new zealand, australia, singapore, dubai, etc) being in India?

Recruitment consultants call me over the telephone, but later i don't hear anything positive from them?
Q. I am a fresh postgraduate in Computer Networks & Telecommunications. I find myself hardworking, talented, willing to strive but facing very much difficulty in securing a job. Recruitment consults ask about experience and also ask that did i appear for any interviews in the past! I don't know, as by time i get nothing but disappointment. What should i do, as i can't bring experience on my own until unless someone give me an opportunity to prove my skills. What should i do?

A. Having worked in recruitment, I can tell you a few things about consultancies. Firstly, they are sales people. They have a very, very narrow view of people's abilities,. All they are really interested in is finding someone who fits the client's needs, and walking away with the comission. Don't expect a recruitment company to try to 'help you find a job', they are not a job-centre, they are a sales outfit. I myself have been turned down for roles I could do in my sleep, but since that wasn't what I did last, they aren't interested. The best approach is to go to employers directly. Send your CV speculatively, even if they have no jobs advertised. The advantage of this is that sometimes it may create a need for the employer, plus they… [cont.]
