HI guys,
I am currently working on a contract for a global consultancy, which has outsourced all their HR stuff to an external agency.
So, I personally have been vetted, personally have signed a workorder, and my company has signed a contract with them.
(well, actually, technically I haven´t signed it yet, because they didn´t want to pay any time reported, which was worked longer than 4 weeks ago - which their own processes often enough make impossible to report in time etc etc.. different matter, but noone seems to have noticed over there since last June that I haven´t physically signed it yet - I had sent my version with correction suggestions and noone has ever come back to me..
Now, I do need an old colleague of mine to take over some part of the work, as I can´t do that and he´s brilliant. He´s got his own company, and would be subcontracting through me/my company.
The consultancy managers totally support this, as they see the value and don´t have comparable resources in-house.
The external HR agency now wants proof of this guy being a director/secretary of MY company!
SInce neither he nor me plan to do this, I asked them to simply set him up as a consultant to my company, but I´m afraid they´ll come back and say "not possible, he needs to be a director" (knowing their ridiculous "standards" and procedures sometimes)
Has any one of you ever come across such a request and/or scenario?
If so, how did you react?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!!
