There are some genuine cowboys around but people do go a but OTT with criticism of agents. Unless you work in a niche industry (of which I am never quite sure what qualifies as a niche sector but always feel i should caveat any assumption I state on here!) they are going to have access to contracts you might mot have heard of.
The whole invoice factoring service does tend to get underplayed on here.
That said it could do with a code of conduct starting with:
Not allowed to advertise fake jobs
Not allowed to contact people about fake jobs (i.e. CV harvesting)
They have to tell you honestly if they have sent your CV to the client
Notice period needs to be aligned with their agreement with client
I am sure there are many other things to add.
