I have spoken further with the agency this morning and they have told me it that it is new piece of work with a new team that they are putting in from scratch. From my initial conversations last week, I was under the impression that I was going in to do my role within a fully functional team as this work has been ongoing for the past 12 months or so not sure if they are taken over the contract from another supplier.
I have asked further questions around the engagement because the conversations do not align with what was discussed last week, but they agree the deliverable dates should not be in the contract and are going to try to reword it.
When we discussed the work last week it was 77 days for 3-4 months, but the contract end date is until 31st July so roughly 52 days depending on when it starts next week. I have not had to interview for the role and have been selected based on my CV and references.
What does not make sense is if the work does not kick off for another week or so then why there is any reference to these lapsed deliverables dates in the contracts. As it is a high profile piece of work you can work out what the rough deliverable dates are from the news alone and the dates in the contract did match what's in the media so maybe they have missed their initial deadlines and the recruiter is not being fully transparent?
