Does consulting firms layoff or terminate for performance if macroeconomic conditions and mixed feedback from projects were stated as reasons? Does getting terminated by a consulting firm affect future prospects of getting hired at other consulting and non-consulting firms? What is a professional response to give in job applications about reason for job ending?

Yes consulting firms let people go for performance …

No you can get another job. Just interview.

When you were let to someone told you it was because of the economy?

If you are in the US those statements do not apply

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
