Navigating procurement departments does not add any value to anything. In the age of the internet, if a company needs some resources then the hiring manager could place the job description directly in some website instead of asking a recruiter to do it for him. He can filter out CVs much more effectively by keywords using some GUI rather asking a recruiter to ask for the keywords on the phone. He sends a mail/phones the candidate for an interview, how hard could it be? He needs to interview the candidate anyway. I don't see how a few hours of administrative work for a hiring manager could justify the fortune that the procurement department will spend with the margin payed to the intermediary.
