Recruitment consultant to psychic
A recruitment consultant already meets 28% of what the psychic role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
64.5/ 100
1 How much of what a psychic 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 psychic role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A psychic role treats 3 of its required skills as things a recruitment consultant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- develop professional network
- give advice on personal matters
- maintain privacy of service users
What stands in the way is 7 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A psychic 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 give advice on personal matters assisting and caring
- already held assess character management skills
- already held maintain privacy of service users assisting and caring
- already held administer appointments management skills
- already held communicate by telephone communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held develop professional network communication, collaboration and creativity
All 6 carried skills, including the 3 the psychic role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 17 missing skills fall into 6 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.

What skills does a recruitment consultant need to become a psychic?
7 required skills are missing, plus 10 optional ones. They fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is read people.
How hard is the move from recruitment consultant to psychic?
Its learning distance is 64.5 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
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.
