Turning To Recruiting

this thread is in danger of being supportive of agents and the hard work they put it to find us roles

Appreciative rather than supportive. It's a sales job and you need an aptitude for it.

Yes these are all valid points that would need to be worked through and none insurmountable (imho) if handled in the right way. Was interested to see thoughts across the forum and no doubt further points to be made.

There was a very long thread on this recently where someone thought it was a doddle. Didn't look so good once we'd finished

A doddle it isn't, as shown in that thread we just see the tip of the iceberg, but that's like most things isn't it?, just take a look what BAs have to do

Not supportive - realistic.

If as a contractor you have these skills then you can start a consultancy and expand it.

Some posters on here have already done so and I've met people in real life who have as well.

Agree completely, my two friends did just that, they weren't your out and out sales guys, but bloody good consultants (very technical to boot) but with business savvy to develop it further - I'm rather jealous of his Ferrari

Erhum - unlike yourself on this thread ??

I am not sure who you are trying to please here. If there is one place where you can get opinions of contractors, it is here. If you weren't expecting replies, you wouldn't have posted this would you?

For sure, you had a clueless, unsubstantiated ambition with no business plan whatsoever. So you were scared when you realised that someone also had the same idea (there could be many more). Instead of working with them, you panicked.
