Tech tests for future roles

[billybiro]

I've an email from a chap at Real IT in Leeds asking me to complete a technical test without even being contacted regarding a role, is this sort of tripe going to become the norm?

The lad is a nice enough bloke and is very good at maintaining contact with his "golden" contractors, of which I'm certain there are only 3 maybe four of us, but do agents really think we've got time to fluff around undertaking tech tests just for the fun of it?

Sheesh... No one is thinking like a business.

Of course you agree to take his test..
....once you've negotiated and agreed upon a mutually acceptable hourly rate, of course!

Has he said 'He'll fix it for you' at any point during your chats??

Can't remember, last thing I recall is him asking me what his hankerchief smelled like..... It's all such a haze.
