Slippery agent behaviour.

Yup, had this. Even when I met the client for an "informal chat".

They wanted to proceed, oh what a shock suddenly it is now inside IR35 (when explicitly advertised as outside on the ad on Jobserve).

Said no, pimp was almost begging me to take it.

In the last few days I have pulled out of two time consuming applications after receiving offers - one because the the rate magically dropped by 10% and one because the contract magically flipped from outside to inside.

This is pretty par for the course but what is the worst behaviour you have experienced from an agent? For me it was an agent arranging an interview before even approaching me for the role and then getting *extremely* belligerent when told I wasn't interested.
