               EVERYBODY WANTS CONSULTANTS
Management consultancy firms have always found it easy to lure business school graduates, with the students themselves rating the sector top of their wish list. (0) ....H.... It is this obstacle to successful growth that consultancies are seeking to overcome.
One of the main attractions of consultancy has always been the high level of starting salaries. 【P1】______.In industrial companies, pay rises usually come in steps and are wide apart, while consultants’ pay tends to increase constantly and follow a steeper curve. Consultants also appreciate their autonomy, and the opportunity to broaden their experience, acquiring competences in several sectors.
The rewards of the job are more tangible than those for managers employed by companies. Consultants enjoy predicting the changes that their recommendations will make. 【P2】______. In fact, such factors mean some consultants play down the importance of pay as a motivating factor. 【P3】______For example, consultants may be working in teams where as many as ten different nationalities are represented.
Despite all this, moves out of consultancy into the corporate world are more common than the other way round. 【P4】______.As a result of such ambition, retaining talented staff is a constant challenge for consultancy firms. In this respect, they are sometimes victims of their own strengths, having drawn in recruits with promises that after two years in consultancy young graduates will be able to do almost any job. 【P5】______.The temptation is worrying for consultancy firms as demand for their services, and so their people, continues to grow at a prodigious rate, creating a huge recruitment need. 【P6】______.But so far, consultants recruited from the outside, as opposed to fresh from business schools, who adapt successfully remain a minority. This is largely due to the strong corporate cultures they have been part of.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few years. Whatever happens, it is clear that there will be plenty of demand for consultants.
Example:
A It feels even better if they are still around when these are implemented.
B They claim rather that they benefit from the whole working style, partly due to the degree of diversity within the job.
C These also then grow faster than in other sectors, according to frequently published comparisons.
D But people in industry also consider such adaptability valuable and make very attractive offers to consultants, which are hard to resist.
E It leaves them no choice but to develop the ability to integrate managers switching from industry.
F The growing trend of hiring consultants from companies owes much to the shortage of qualifying graduates.
G It is a path which is particularly visible among new graduates, who tend to view consultancy as a stepping stone towards a managerial position.
H What has been proving more difficult is appealing to people who already occupy managerial positions within companies.
