Anyone know this agent?

So I'm about to make my first move into contracting, I've been contacted by a company called PAR consulting....(http://www.parconsulting.co.uk/Default.aspx).

They are not a member, as far as I can tell, of REC, does this matter?

I will ensure anything I get from them is in writing of course.

Has anyone heard of them or used them before, any help or advice would be appreciated.

No, if they've got a job with the right rate credit check 'em, get your contract signed and cross your fingers.

Never dealt with them but I don't like this bit on their website:

"We at PAR believe that the Technical, Functional and Management specialists we place, or call upon for project work are as much our customers, as our clients are."

-I'm a contractor. I supply them with a service and they pay me for that service. Surely that makes them my customer!

the client they have for me is a big name, this makes me feel a little easier, maybe, i'll make sure everything is in writing and signed before i do anything.

I'll let you know how it goes
