Vector Resourcing - Any experience of them?

[SurreyPM]

Has anyone successfully got Vector Resourcing to amend their T's & C's? and payment terms?

[SurreyPM]

Well they don't make any amendments to contracts and because I asked, I have been withdrawn, despite an offer...cutting off nose to spite face comes to mind.

Never had an agency that wouldn't amend a contract or be flexible!

Perhaps a little email or message via LinkedIn to the client would be in order, you can bet they are telling them that you didn't take the job because you demanded more money at the 11th hour!

Yes. Just a minor one, but yes I did.

You don't realise how important they are, in their own minds.
They would sooner lose business than negotiate with a contractor. Contractors are so low and useless. They are the wonderful people who are only taking 25-30% off the top.

I'm not allowed to contact the client however I sit next to a PM who is best mates from when he was child with one of their Senior Managers so he is making it known that I didn't ask for more money and I certainly didn't withdraw. So I haven't contacted them :-). I can't be held responsible for the actions of others!!

The agency even sent an email, sort of a veiled threat.

Please further note that the terms contained in our Work Finding Services Agreement and agreed on xx still apply.

[WTFH]

Does their work finding services agreement specify how long the terms apply?
Does it specify the role, or does it just name the company? (Actually, knowing some of their tricks in the past, does it even name the company?)

Then just remove them from your LinkedIn connections before messaging the client on LinkedIn.

The agreement is generic doesn't name a company or the role, just me. and I'll check but I think it specifies 12 months..I thought the limit was 14 weeks legally.

You could reply (if you want) mentioning that you are aware of the agreement which only applies if they have not misrepresented you. I would suggest you title the reply "Without prejudice save as to costs", since that is what they will do when they start to make false accusations against you.
