Agency wants to put me forward for another role, but not heard back from interview

Easy. Because just like agents and contractors, many companies too like to "hedge their bets" and have multiple agents scouring the market for them. I have worked in many places that never offered any agency exclusivity on a role (or number of roles) that they were recruiting for and often very openly told agencies that they were merely one of many agents working on the client's behalf. The agents were also clearly told that if they didn't like that arrangement, they could go take a running jump. Not surprisingly, very few agents did.

Possibly but I've just read back and missed the bit about it being another client. I thought it was the same one which largely makes my post irrelevant sorry.

And don't be surprised if you never hear anything back from the agency at all. When you call them to chase, they will be in a meeting or at lunch and call you back,.....not.

No problem, NLUK. My general point does still stand, though. Many clients will routinely use multiple agencies for the same role(s).

Absolutely no argument from me on that one.
