The role has gone. Accept it and move on.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

Obviously you wouldn't take people as far as interview if that was the case.
Also, budget may not be signed off, or they tulip canned the thing.

He may have contacted a few contractors and agreed a lower rate with someone else, i.e. a higher margin for himself, or perhaps he spoke with the client and found out they'd pulled the role.I'm alright JackComment

Even if they do get back to you some time later, you'll probably never know whether the other contractor got rejected and the agent was holding you in reserve, or if there was a more genuine delay.Comment

Even without references, it's a fishing trip.
If, say, you've been an ABAP programmer at Tesco, the agent will ask you more details about it. He'll then fish out his two best benched ABAP people and send their cvs to Tesco.
Rinse and repeat for ever previous client that you gave details for.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Sorry it was me that called you, just need a couple of references, your bank details, pin code, wifes bra size and 1000 bit coins and we'll get your CV right over.Comment
