      Just had Huxley ask for 3 references! Apparently it's their policy with new contractors.

          Well of course it's their policy to try and scam as many leads as they can. It's the way that they work

            I know I avoid them like something nasty you pick up on holiday.

            I wonder if they actually have any roles at Hoaxely? Or is there office just one man, a telephone, and a large ball of tumbleweed that rolls from corner to corner while they dream up another faux ad to put on jobserve

              Hoaxley ?

              What do you mean to say that the guy that phones me this morning was just sniffing for leads???

              Huxley have been round the way for ages. I can think back to the early 90's and being dragged in for face to face interviews when they actually did a real job...

              That's a shame the job seemed so nice and it was paying a fortune

              If none of you want to pass spent leads or connections back to the guys that try and sell you, then you are going to have a long time sat on the bench in this climate. I have had a couple of good results in the past where a total donkey has decided not to bother passing my CV on to a customer only to find me taking the job through another agent that was willing to spend some extra time earning themselves six months cash

              So far I have passed several gigs back to agents and I may have even un benched a good friend in the process.

                Does anyone ever get a gig thru Hoaxley? I get bombarded by emails from them about "jobs" that have nothing to do with my skill set whatsoever.

                  I think I might get a couple of international SkypeIn numbers to dish out to agents.

                  Or should I get an 0870 number and use that instead, so I can make some cash off the fishing trip....

                    Give them an 090x number instead. That should get rid of at least 80% of the agencies who are looking to phish.
