Recruitment consultant to dating service consultant
A recruitment consultant already meets 43% of what the dating service consultant role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
58.5/ 100
1 How much of what a dating service consultant is expected to do is already part of a recruitment consultant’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the dating service consultant role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A dating service consultant role treats 7 of its required skills as things a recruitment consultant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- assess character
- develop professional network
- give advice on personal matters
- identify customer's needs
- listen actively
- maintain relationship with customers
What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dating service consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a recruitment consultant background worth leading with.
- already held manage tests information skills
- already held profile people management skills
- already held give advice on personal matters assisting and caring
- already held assess character management skills
- already held document interviews information skills
- already held maintain professional administration management skills
All 13 carried skills, including the 7 the dating service consultant role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 19 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
