Bus/Financial - Management/Verwaltung / Consultancies/recruitment agencies | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: consultants métiers | This is in a summary of services provided by a recruitment agency :
" **consultants métiers**
consultants secteurs d'activités "
It's a buzz-phrase which is very popular in this field these days. I know what it is ... but I don't know how to translate it (i.e. I don't know what the equivalent buzz-phrase is in English)
Any suggestions will be welcome ! |
| | Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)Bourth: 2:10pm Jan 29, 2008: Are your terms between quotes two different things or does one elaborate on the other? IOW, métier = secteur d'activité, or métier = job of people, secteur d'activité = business segment of a company?
Michael GREEN: 2:18pm Jan 29, 2008: Hello Bourth, thanks for your quick response.
They are in fact 2 different things (consultants métiers being one, consultants secteurs d'activités being the other).
The term "consultants métiers", which I am scratching my head to translate, means a consultant specialised in a specific business field - eg Accountancy, Marketing, Boot-licking, etc ..
I'm trying to avoid translating with a long phrase which will certainly not be the jargon used in English.
Hope that is clear(er).
Bourth: 3:16pm Jan 29, 2008: Next question: who is this particular consultant consulting to: employees in those fields, or their employers? Employers, presumably, which IMO would knock "career consultants" on the head. Maybe "Staff-function / Job-function consultant"?

These consultants have a dual function. In this 'business' these consultants can work for both companies, as well as employees.

Yes, to your last question Michael, as this is what I did in 1980-81. We represented both job-seekers, as well as companies, since without the latter, obviously, we could not completely help the job-seekers.

Erklärung:
If you consider that Accounting, Marketing, Design, Production, HR, Running The Canteen, and Bootlicking are business functions, then maybe these guys are Business-Function Consultants.
There's pages about what these guys do at :
http://www.digitalsafetynet.com/DSI%20Website/Labor%20Catego...
Pity is, while I understand all the words, I come out none the wiser about what these guys actually DO! Which is probably a good indication that, as consultants go, this is it.

Fragesteller: Thank you - the doc I am translating is actually a list of approved head-hunting agencies, produced by "a major household name" company for executives wishing to recruit staff. So your term, which I have to say may not be the correct one, certainly does describe what they do.

Fragesteller: Thank you Richard : these are guys working as head-hunters for corporate clients (see my note to Bourth) : would your term still apply in that case ?
