To be honest I wouldn't have sent him a email saying how shoddy he was etc, you never know when you'll need him/them. I got f*cked over by an agency big style a few years ago, had a job in f/furt lined up had the offer, booked my flights then they 'recruited internally, we're ever so sorry'. I couldn't be @rsed looking into legal implictaions blah blah but I felt like turning up at their office & having a 'chat' with the pimp. 2 yrs later I ended up working for him/them again... he's still a k*nt though

I had an interview 'all lined up' a couple of weeks ago with Reed, promptly didn't hear from the pimp with the time/date/location as was promised - rang him a couple of time and he didn't respond to my messages

I appreciate that things can change at the client end, but not to respond in any way is completely unacceptable; but exactly what I expect from Agencies these days. It does however make we feel 100% not guilty if I choose to **** any of them over at any time; most of them deserve nothing less than contempt

There will be a day when I am recruiting for a company or myself and come across an agent who is on my black list, I will ensure that they do not get mine or my clients business in no uncertain terms..

I'm a PM and you'd think that Agents would at least have the sense to realise that this might happen if they treat people they way they do - unfortunately they don't - my black list is very long these days, I was recruiting at my last contract and didn't use the agent I was working through because they couldn't pay me on time

I am a PM too and you would think that agents would become savvy to the fact that a) we need to recruit for projects and might use them if they were good enough and b) we get to see all the figures and can calulate their margins!!

I've had experience of Reed advertising a contract that was only ever going to be given to me - the client (central gov) had to re-advertise the contract position to renew my contract. They had to get 3 CVs from 3 different agencies - they were alwasy going to pick out Reed and myself (and Reed knew what was going on).

Interesting to see 25 people apply for my job!
