I have had this for several roles, it's quite comedic. I even had computer futures tell me the client didn't want to interview me for a role that I had already interviewed for with a competitor been offered and was due to start. I think the best bet is agree for them to represent you for a period of days, if another agent calls then 9/10 they can check with the client to see if you have actually been submitted by agency a.

Originally posted by Elliegirl View PostI am having a dense moment, forgive me. I know exactly who the client is, they interviewed me. I've accepted their offer so I don't think it likely that I'll hear from Agency A again. Agency B did all the hard work, as it were.
I did indeed get the gig without hassle but it was a high risk strategy. And if there's anything we contractors are used to, it's taking risks. (Does that sound cool enough??)'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
