Anyone gone through Spring IT?

....preferred partner of Barclays for contractors so I'm told. My contract is moving to them. My current one is nice and IR35 friendly, wondering if new one will be and whether or not they will allow changes to make it so. Which i seriously doubt...

Cheers

Used them when I was green and naive for a contract at RBS. Wouldn't go near them anymore. They outright lied to me in one circumstance and are the most inflexible agency I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with (apart from Xansa who are in a whole other league).

Thats reassuring to know.... just starting a contract with them on Monday.

[mrdavies]

Ah well looks like I have little choice in the matter , unless I just bin this gig. But thats not a reason really.. see what happens.

Can you be specific? Were they cr@p at paying on time or what?

[bellymonster]

I start Monday but have not had any joining details yet. Don't know an address or a contact yet.

They have been a bit slack so far (asked for my passport twice) but I was more impressed by the online approval of the contract etc.

I had no problems with them, but then I was not a IT bot...

I did a stint with them, no problems. Most of their work seems to be with big organisations on pref supplier deals and set margins so you just have to go with the flow.
