Indian recruitment consultancies operating in the UK

Yep, and I'm already seeing Indian outsourcers muscled out by newcomers.

How do you mean? I thought the Romanians were more into pickpocketing than IT?

Sounds like they've used you to get the contract then exercised their right of substitution before you even started it! Utter filth.

This is so bad.
Is this common?

Indians are mostly nice guys, just trying to survive. Corporate classes are managing this really. They are saying: We have other cheaper people to do the same as what you are doing. It is what happened in the industrial evolution and now is happening with a globalism twist.

I don't like that they eat with their fingers I mean after using the keyboard, I mean the keyboard has more germs than the toilet I believe.. I do that at home ... but is different.. no one will know.

Over a few weeks in negotiation with "Avance" for a role in Austria with HCL....

Eventually an offer came through..for 580 per day...contract signed and returned..

Due to start Monday (in 3 days).agency never returned the signed contract...then Text to stay the start date was agreed in the contract was not certain..and not to make any travel plans..refused to give me the name of the end client

I said..that's fine..I will keep working where I am..

They suddenly went silent....

BEWARE..THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.

what are contracts with HCL like?

White, with black writing on. About A4 sized. Might be a couple pages.

HTH.

Did a stint with them 3 years ago. We agreed to "part ways" after a few weeks. First time that's ever happened to me in 28 years of contracting.

YMMV.

Hey

Are any of these Indian recruitment companies a member of REC*?

If not, then may be that the question that will help us all out to filter.
