New consulting supplement to appear in The Times     As the market for consulting candidates becomes ever more fiercely contested, consultancies have been investing in print media as a means of supplementing the recruitment results being achieved from online jobs boards and traditional recruitment agencies. Whilst not a reversal in the fortunes of new media channels, the return to traditional media is a reflection of just how     buoyant the consultancy recruitment market has now become – with recruitment shortfalls now a major headache for consulting firm partners.    Top-Consultant.com spotted this trend back in Q3 2006 and launched a partnership with the Evening Standard that has seen a special consulting section appear in the newspaper each quarter since. Advertisers have included a broad range     of consulting brands including Accenture, Axon, BT Global Services, Ernst & Young, IBM Global Business Services, LogicaCMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Serco Consulting.    The success of this initiative has led to a new partnership which will see Top-Consultant support a 20 page Consulting Supplement in The Times on 5 July. The partnership rewards Top-Consultant clients with a 30% discount on     the regular advertising rates for such supplements and will appeal to advertisers looking to either attract consulting hires or strengthen their consulting brand. Feature content within the supplement will include:    ● Assessment of growth patterns within the UK consulting market;    ● Major growth sectors and practice areas identified;        ● Review of the changing competitive landscape within the UK consulting market (new entrants and M&A activity highlighted);    ● Recruitment challenges as a key obstacle to growth.       Advertisers interested in reviewing a copy of the brochure for this new Times initiative should email iris@top-consultant.com
