Recruitment consultant: 'My job has meaning'

by John Littlejohn

A Leeds-based recruitment consultant has convinced himself that his job has value. 


Darren Artichoke, 26, told researchers at Newcastle-under-Lyme University that recruiting other recruitment consultants for Meta-Recruitment Solutions was one of the most rewarding jobs in the entire world.

He said: “I know people bang on about doing something worthwhile like refugee mining or charity chugging, but I’m 26 years old, I’m on a cool 29k and I living life to the max.”

Mr Artichoke said he had ambitions to set up his own recruitment consultancy specialising in head-hunting the best recruiters to find the most dynamic and passionate recruitment consultants with a commitment to recruitment.

He said: “For me, it’s all about finding blue sky solutions for off-base problems.

“We’re always gonna need meta-recruitment – you think Napoleon could have won World War Two if he hadn’t used recruitment consultants? Exactly.”
