Same job with multiple agents

Re: agents

I agree with Mordac, there´s no harm in an agent politely requesting if the CV has already been submitted; this is less likely to annoy the client. I´ve done this a couple of times particularly with a readvertised role just remind the client I´m still there.

Usually if the second CV turns up on the desk, the client simply rejects the second, but might be a little bit irritated and throw the CV in the bin, particularly if there are 20 other perfectly good CVs on his desk..

Re: agents

Mordac is right.

I've witnessed clients rejecting a good candidate because they had the same CV from different agents, because they knew it would cause problems. It's also very, very true that agents often say they've put you forward when they haven't.

Re: agents

Each agent is probably restricted to three CV's if bothe put you forward it ups your chances from one in six to one in five.

but all the above comments all seem valid.
