The second part of the work results fundamental in order to define who is the recruiter and what he/she does. In particular the analysis is both worker and job oriented. Indeed, every occupation is performed using a variety of activities and tasks; it also requires employees with a different mix of knowledge, skills and abilities. All these elements take part to the creation of an ideal recruiter’s profile. The last part of the dissertation figure out how recruiters are and work in real life.
