Any experience of Deltaclass Technology Solutions?

I was approached through LinkedIn by https://deltaclasstech.com/ Deltaclass Technology Solutions today, agent appears to be in India, but phoned from a London number. Regarding a contract for "Enterprise Architect with a bank in London" and a very vague (4 lines) job spec. 6 months, hybrid 3 days on site, inside IR35, agency quoted their "highest" day rate when I refused to disclose mine until further information forthcoming about the role and requirements/expectations. Agent won't reveal end client or location more specific than "London", but subsequent email mentions HCL as the "client" - which I assume is referring to https://www.hcltech.com/ Telephone interview to follow in the next few days, apparently - "I will keep you post the updates."

Just wondered if anyone has experience of dealing with this agency, and how likely or otherwise they might be to pay....

Many thanks!

I get this on linkedin from time to time. Not this company but other offshore companies with what appears to be a UK presence. When I did bother replying it never came to anything so I just skip them unless I'm desperate. The idea of going through an offshore recruitment firm to then work with HCL does not excite me one iota.

I'm currently trying to get HCL to actually delivery some working code.

Trust me if I see their name on your CV your CV is going straight in the bin...

I actually live the opposite life - trying to make code idiot proof enough for HCL to be trusted with it

Same experience here. Sadly they are pretty much the only people calling at the moment.

That’s an impossible task - long term this clients needs to either write the £x million this project has cost or bring support in house (so we can quietly rewrite it into something they isn’t a grade A disaster movie).
