I'd love to hear more of what you think
It's amazing you believe libel is just a minor hurdle, especially in these PC times.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

What positives would you like to see on a platform like this? To go back to my original question, what positives have you experienced in the past when contracting? When have you had incredible services.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

LIBEL.
Just like giving a bad personal job reference...
OP - I know you didn't want critique, but I agree with what most others have said.
Review Sites are mostly for things you are buying/renting, where there is a plethora of choice for you the consumer.
With agencies, for the most part, there isn't a choice. Yes, there are roles with multiple agencies, but you have no guarantee you will get put forward by whichever agent your site determines is "the best".
In fact, in this whole scenario, the agent and the client are the ones who should be wanting to read reviews about contractors.
In short, I wouldn't say there is no merit in your idea, but I wouldn't bother to use it myself.Comment

Lets not sway
You guys have been great and I've been having some great discussions but mostly about the idea and why it wont work. Please don't forget my original question, what have recruiters done that have wowed you? Something simple that makes a huge difference? an example of great service or a feature that makes you want to use the same company again!Comment

OP is flogging a dead horse here. How many times does he have to ask to focus on the positives, not get a response and have to ask again? Always worries me when people are so focussed on trying to see positives when there are so many negatives they willing to completely ignore. Sounds more like brainwashing to me. Dunno why, just makes me very wary and is getting a bit boring.
The fact we posted a link to the last failed time this was floated and he's admitted he's not read it... I can't see this ending well.Last edited by northernladuk; 30 August 2016, 16:06.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
