My personal opinion:
A job has many definitions. Just getting a person in a job may not suffice. What about longevity, growth, treatment at best, on par industry salary, perks etc? So a person going in eyes wide shut into a job, may not risk with a consultant. Honest!
***In a nutshell, it is the employer who is wanting a better resource and he/she would have to foot the bill for the consultant, who would be sending out resumes, based on the jobsites match, and application.
I have heard that it is 1:8 hit ratio for the short listed resume and @ 1:100 ratio from job portal.
Applies / Applied to me and my recruitment's too!

If you provide some consolidated service, including checking jobs at multiple job site, makeup of resumes, customizing resumes, might give you a chance to charge the customers. My wife works for a co. where there is enough scope for improvement for the staff themselves to get the resources by job boards - name it ( naukri, timesjobs, monster etc )
Otherwise I am told that in Hyderabad, there are finishing schools, that program and coach you into a desired job. This works for freshers jobs.
I don't think anyone will pay the consultant to find jobs for candidates. It is always the customers. Also my company has a rider of replacement, if there is no payment (usually @ 8.33%) if replacement found within 3 months, if the selected moved out, based on performance or otherwise.
Actually I have interviewed and hired about 20 freshers for my co. where people paid like Rs 1.2 lakhs for the entire year of training cum placement, with a stipend of Rs 7K pm.
No one pays money to consultants for just forwarding resumes!
