A recruitment does not have to handle any HR, leave alone any hardcore HR. the profile of arecruitment consultant is more of marketing nature and consequently the candidate need not know HR and the profile is more of marketing nature and thus the focus is on questions of general nature. A candidate for a real time HR, need know the basiscs of HR and recent developments in HR.
