| Abstract: | It has recently been argued that the use of external consultants is indicative of a crisis in personnel management. However, the use of consultants, of whatever type, has not been adequately explained for a number of reasons. Arguments are provided that the increasing usage of external consultants is a form of defence, allowing to the personnel shed some activities and strengthen its position within the organization. To illustrate this argument, executive recruitment consultancies are considered. The results reported draw on two major surveys. The first was directed at executive consultancies whereas the second was directed at corporate personnel directors in the Times 100 companies. |
