Hi all,
I'm very new to this forum. I want to give you some context to my situation but the long and short of it is that I want to switch supplier agents and would like to know what the consequences of doing so are.
Context:
I'm currently working in the public sector realm. Some of you may already be aware of this but Public sector contracting is different to private sector contracting in the sense that public sector agents can subcontract the fetching of candidates to other agencies. In my story, the subcontractor agency has been a bit... well, let's say not great! I won't go into details as this is still ongoing.
So, as I've said, the public sector is different, and these subcontractor agencies can effectively be chopped and changed (without being able to demand a finder's fee) and the contractor can even go direct with the agent (some do).
Having said all that, this is the first time I've worked under/with the subcontractor agency and it hasn't been a good experience. The efforts in rectifying problems are less than satisfactory.
If I make the choice and leave them to go with another agency (I still remain in the contract, nothing changes; I just go through a process of a switch), what are the potential consequences in the near or far future from the sub-agency when this current contract is done and dusted?
I have every reason to switch but the reason I pose the question is that the process of switching requires me to write an official complaint documenting all the points I'm unhappy with and it will paint a really bad picture of the recruiter. I've written it but after reading it over (without clicking send), it does make him/her look really bad and the whole agency overall. If I was the recruiter, I would hate me.... for life!
So, switch or no? Any takers?
