Dear Satis,
Let me quote the reasons without pulling punches, of course. I know my statements always ruffle a few feathers, but then I am helpless. The reasons are as below:
a) Lack of self-awareness. This is because of a lack of personality development.
b) Disinclination to take challenges. There are a lot of jobs available in operations, supply chain, marketing, advertising, etc. But it may not be a table and chair job. Recruiters prefer to slog on a chair rather than on the shop floor or in the field.
c) Many of them lack analytical skills. This is because of a poor command over Maths and Stats. Many other disciplines demand a command over these two subjects.
d) Lack of love for money. It is an inner urge to earn more money that drives one's ambition. I have seen few recruiters be quite complacent.
e) Inability to plan one's career. Unfortunately, sometimes MBAs end up as recruiters. This is because of a lack of self-esteem.
f) Recruiters don't have to rub shoulders with average people. Sometimes senior professionals in other disciplines have to deal with mediocre people. Recruiters, in contrast, have their own haven in which they find birds of a feather.
Nevertheless, a recruiter's job is plain grind. It has its own challenges. Sometimes candidates give the least regard to recruiters. They do not turn up for interviews. Selected candidates do not turn up for the job. Plus, there is pressure for closure for 'x' number of positions.
However, when one gets stuck in this drudgery, it is very difficult to come out. The job of a company recruiter is better than an agency recruiter. The former has some chance to jump to some other function vertically. The latter has none.
The other factors for women are marriage and starting a family. But then these are universal, and recruiters alone cannot be singled out.
Since you asked this question, I have given my observations. However, my boldness should not be construed as boorishness.

Dear Mr. Dinesh,
You have a wrong perception about recruiters. You may have dealt with recruiters who don't have the knowledge and spark to grow. Even in every function, there are a few candidates who lack knowledge, analytical skills, maths, and statistics. Many people don't know anything about it, but they have grown to positions like MDs and EDs.
Whatever you have said is because of your thoughts and understanding. I would say a good recruiter works simultaneously with an HR head to fill the gap of talent in the organization.
A recruiter works more seriously on his assignments than any other functional candidate. A recruiter can earn more than 50K every month as an incentive, but other functional candidates cannot.
A general recruiter with 2-3 years of experience earns more than a similarly experienced HR or training candidate. If you need, I can send you their CVs.
I have given my observations. However, my boldness should not be construed as boorishness.
Now, let's talk about why women are more dominant.
Because women have a soft corner and are more attractive, most people give them more attention and they can easily build relationships with anyone. Otherwise, a man can also perform as well as a woman candidate. That's it.
Thanks,

So, Mr. Dinesh wants to say that women do not have analytical skills and they do not want to take challenging jobs...? 😞
Please correct me if I've understood the wrong way. This is what I understood from this post.

Dear Bharghavi,
You have not understood correctly. I have written about the recruiter tribe only and not womenfolk as a whole. In fact, in my post, I have not singled out women, but comments are applicable to either gender.
With role models like Chanda Kochhar, Indra Nooyi, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, who would say that women have less analytical power? But then why do recruiters not take inspiration from them?
My observations are based on the training activities. I have handled training for recruiters. At times, I found MBAs to be resume-screeners and not even proper recruiters.
For many of them, being a recruiter is a stop-gap arrangement until they move on to other assignments. But for a few, this may not happen to all.
For Caliber Management Services: This is about a few becoming ED or MD. It is not a question of who becomes what. There could be exceptions as well.
I have seen a case where a one-time courier runs a 60 Crore company and a one-time pharma delivery boy runs a 300 Crore or so company. However, with their analytical skills, they could have made it to 600 Crore and 3,000 Crore. As far as the latter example is concerned, in my pre-training activity, much to my horror, I discovered that the pharma distribution company was losing Rs 5,000/- per day because of wrong deliveries!
I request you to go through the comments, ponder over it, and then react rather than giving a knee-jerk reaction!

Dear Satish Mishra,
While addressing the issue, members would also like to know your point of view, observation, or experience. I suggest you provide some input on how you came to such a conclusion.

Recruitment is a female-dominated industry, and there are several probable reasons for this trend:
1. A pleasing voice that captures attention.
2. Possessing good communication skills.
3. Being more inclined towards roles that involve seating arrangements.
4. Often finding their job search concluding at a recruitment agency's doorstep.
There could be numerous other factors contributing to this phenomenon.

You are right, Hiral Mehta. I started the responses chain with the same aspect in mind, but it got veered away in a different direction along the way.
I would suggest all Senior & Contributing Members to desist from responding to threads with incomplete, insufficient, or nil background info for their queries - however tempting it may be to respond. Even though this is most often noticed among new members, this particular gentleman, Satish Mishra, definitely wouldn't fall into that category - he has been a member since Oct 2007 and ought to know the rules of the game, so to say.
On one side, all of us crib that many members don't give all the info needed for others to give suggestions or advice, and at the same time, the responses flow with speed, and more so with assumptions as per the individual member's understanding/experiences. Maybe we are encouraging such members not to really worry about giving the full info while posting their threads?
All of us are from the HR fraternity, and going by simple human psychology, why would a general person take extra pains to do something when his or her perception is that it's not needed? Aren't all of us responsible to create this perception in the first place?
Just give it a thought.
