Hi there, very new to contracting - i am intending to make the jump from permanent to freelance.
I have been working with some recruiters and was apparently put forward for a job and never heard anything back. I have spoken to a different recruiter today and it turns out it is for the same organisation with the same role.
I have told the previous recruiter to represent me but the new recruiter has said he has the exclusivity to this organisation. I am worried that if this is the case and that i go with this recruiter that i end up having to pay the previous recruiter if i get the job.
I have chased up the previous recruiter to see what is going on with the application but is wondering if there is anything else i can do to protect myself. Is it worth getting some form of detail from the organisation to say that the new recruiter is the authorised person?
Apparently someone may have let it slip about the role so lots of recruiters have been phoning this organisation to try and send profiles.
Hopefully the above make sense, im looking forward to making the jump - but i need to make sure i dont shoot myself in the foot.
Thanks in advance
