No, consulting does recruitment themselves. This means they just deal with legally employing person you've recruited.

If you want to abstract away the legality, you abstract away the legality. Consulting provides that. Everything else involves massive legal bills and is uncompetitive.

  It's different. Consulting firms offer you someone. Maybe it's someone you pick, maybe it's someone they pick, but it is someone whose full time job is working as a consultant at said firm. Here, the firm finds someone they want to hire, and the agency deals with the legal nitty gritty. If you mean consulting as an individual, it's still different, for both parties, because you recreate an employment situation. The employee has legal employment, notice period, employment rights, insurance, yada yada. Employee has long-term commitment. If you're saying consulting as an individual is the same as.l employment, well... I guess then every two things are the same...

    Consulting companies can also find a freelancer that they know and work with that will solve your problem without any hassles.

      They know vs you know. The "know" part here is a very important distinction. Maybe not for you, if you have cookie cutter problems.

    > Consulting firms offer you someone Every consulting firm I’ve worked with is highly responsive to feedback regarding specific people. If I want that person, I get that person. They work on my team. Someone else handles the paperwork and abstracts away the legal questions.

      Correct; the difference is, who comes up with the initiative of a particular person. You come to a firm, talk to some of their guys and you like Alice best, you work with Alice -> consultancy. You find Bob somewhere in the world, like him, want to hire him, find a company that deals with the legal details -> remote work agency.
