In the list above I doubt Square One is India based. A mate of mine has been working there for a decade as an accountant. Perhaps their call centre is based in India?
Also, Dabster in that list is a dodgy India based agency. They try all tactics to harvest your CV and you never hear back again. Avoid!!Leave a comment:

Originally posted by CoolCat View Postyea well Cognizant, Tata, Infosys, HCL are all regularly bringing plane loads of Indian nationals in to work, they get taxed less than locals, get subcontracted into other organisations for less than it costs to hire a local, and come in despite there being an oversupply of Brits with the relevant skills (when they bother to be honest about their skills). its big business and the leaders of these organisations were in Davos chatting to our supposed leaders and getting commitments to ongoing open doors.
The political class *think* they have done a deal with India where we can sell them financial services, and they can import lots of cheap workers, ie IT workers being sacrificed in the name of selling pensions and insurance in India. Problem being of course that India is very patriotic and nobody there is prepared to buy financial products from a UK firm.
And so much more. Yes it needs stopping. But no I have given up hope of our political class doing anything.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by uk contractor View PostI think its high time these agencies are either punted out of operating in the UK or highly regulated as the level of extreme abuse is getting to be a joke now. HMRC get way more tax from UK born IT contractors than indian workers being exploited by these agencies no wonder HMRC tax take is dropping rapidly!!

Half the time they only want your CV so that they can copy it, put one of their intra company transfer workers name at the top instead of yours, and punt it into a few companies
Then if they get found out they ring and try and hire you, when the plan will be you not only do the day job but train up your Indian replacement at the same time
Their basic business model is the same as the people who owned slave transport ships, so be carefulLeave a comment:

I think that is enough for now.....
Add this one too.
There was a role released in Slough last week and must have had 5 calls within 15 minutes, along with an email from each at the same time with the usual "how many years experience...."
By the 3rd I was plain rude, by the 5th I just hung up.Leave a comment:
