    Why? Because I have managed to build good relationships that work for me, the agents and the clients? Not everyone hates agents, and not everyone thinks they are getting ripped off by them.

      Apparently you hate your agent enough not to pass on new business to him.


      No way! Find your own decent agent

        New business would be contact details of people in hiring positions, not just another contractor.

        Plus, while I'm sure the poster in question is a lovely person IRL, given his posts on here, there's no way I'd put them in contact with an agent that I had a good relationship with.

          I obtained my current contract through LinkedIn. A Programme Manager I previously worked with contacted me through it.

          It's more about keeping your proper contacts up-to-date with your work situation than anything else.

                http:/ /elevatedirect.com/ is now online - I have heard good things but traffic is not really there yet.

                Still, can't hurt.

                      Fair enough. Can you articulate why it's absolute rubbish?
