Fundamentally, there is a philosophical difference in the 2 concepts, thus a huge difference in the type of services and solutions.

For recruitment companies, this can also be governed with changes in the way people work and how companies engage people. In the 50s, we see a build up of temporary work, in the 80s, outsourcing became a new cost reduction trend &#8230; <a href="http://thedignityofwork.com/2012/06/08/multi-business-lines-multi-conflicts/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thedignityofwork.com&#038;blog=29091407&#038;post=89&#038;subd=thedignityofwork&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
