Originally posted by Andy Hallett View PostHappy to confirm that these are both real jobs, real clients, real line managers and real CV's submitted to those real locations. Our consultants generally work quite tight technical patches so it is not unusual to have similar technology jobs in different locations
LivingUpNorth, if you are considering relocating to the South West and need a contract I will put you in touch with our Bristol manager. Send me a PM if you need this.
The c++ SQL advert in Newport could really do with a clean up. We don't know if it's a c++ or c# role. Both very different skill sets.Last edited by LivingUpNorth; 6 March 2015, 18:10.Comment

Don't bother reporting it to Vince Cable though he doesn't GAS about contractors, neither does REC nor APSCO.Comment

Originally posted by LivingUpNorth View PostI saw another recently, can't find it now.
It appeared to be the same job advert advertised over multiple locations on the M4 corridor. Bath was one of them.
Computer Futures are currently looking for a .NET Developer to work for a client in Reading, however the contract will begin the end of January 2015.
The client requires someone who is used to staying local and lives not far from Reading. You must be or have recently been working in the Reading area as per the clients request.
Please send me an up to date CV if you wish to be considered for this role.
Regards
Lee.Comment

At least Lee exists - unlike previous example where they (a different agency) used a fake name so that when you called they could fob you off.

I also received a contract job spec from one of his bulk emails for roles going at my current gig and I know for sure they are not able to submit anyone as its a closed shop with only capita and one other agency on the proffered supplier list.Comment
