One of the most important assets you can have in the recruitment industry is a good memory. Between meeting candidates, visiting clients, taking enquiries about roles and organizing interviews, even the most organized industry professionals can find that details slip their mind. A good memory is an essential prerequisite for a consultant in the recruitment industry as it ties together many of the threads that make an individual successful.

A consultant's measures of success include their attention to detail, rapport building skills and ability to generate new business opportunities through networking. Indirectly it is an individual's memory that affects the quality of the service they deliver and ultimately their ability to achieve sustainable outcomes and repeat business in their chosen field.
