Hi -
After many years (nearly 17) working for one company, I decided I'd had enough of the management, stress, the company and laziness of others and packed in it.
I have applied for a few permanent roles and interviewed (through to 2nd interview) for one but decided it wasn't really for me. I am finding the silence of recruiters deafening
Last week I had a call from an agency who are advertising a role I could do with my eyes shut (and even enjoy!). The role is specialised and my knowledge of the software plus my availability makes is a no-brainer (in my mind at least).
They sent the client my CV and said they would be back in touch. The contract needs to start next Monday. Despite an email last week, one on Monday (yesterday) and a phone call today, nobody is getting back to me.
Is this normal agency behaviour? I have never contracted before, despite working with several professional contractors on the clients side.
This does make me wonder if it's all worth it tbh. Looking at agencies today and my kind of work (implementation, business analysis) is fairly thin on the ground. Unless I am just looking in the wrong places
Any advice, comments is appreciated. Just be gentle with me
