Incidentally it's not just the interviewers that are a sign of the times. Just one example, two agents in London didn't bother getting back to me after on-site interviews last month. Not even a 'how did it go' call. I've never had that problem before, but if the bare minimum of effort to maintain a professional relationship isn't worth it to them, they can't be having that much trouble finding new bodies to process through the London meat grinder.Comment

Someone might need to remind these consultancy chappies about visa requirements as they appear to have an unlimited supply of visa required bottom feeders ready & willing to heavily undercut the market rate ... the consultancy still charges market rate though & pockets the difference!Comment

All totally illegal as the T2 guy finds out when he shoots for ILR after 5 years.
Not allowed to work via an intermediary or agency, but it is allowed via a consultancy who the T2 guy works directly for.Comment
