Anyone done a gig through....

Computer Future Solutions? Good or bad?

Computer Future Solutions? Good or bad?

Me, me, me, me. I have.

Bunch of Barrow boys much like most of the rest of the S3 brigade. High margin brigade.

Names and assessments both from a recruiter and contractor perspective can be supplied if they wish to take me to court.

What's 'S3'?

[chicane]

I did my last contract through an agent at their Birmingham office, who was professional and efficient. Margin was acceptable too. I've tried dealing with a few of the guys at the Manchester office and (to put this in the most polite way possible) would not recommend them.

Special mention for the Computer Futures billing system which is fully computerised - no messing about with faxes and signatures. Helped a lot.

Is there a complete list of the 12 brands?

Couldn't see anything immediately on their website, but didn't look too hard.

I found

The Group currently operates 12 brands, with the 4 largest being Computer Futures, Progressive, Huxley Associates and Pathway

but nothing more than that.

It seems that I may have got myself off their lists by telling someone at Progressive that "I don't deal with S3, as they don't have a very good reputation" without realising that they were part of the group. Oh dear. Gutted.

Got it from a powerpoint presentation on their site:

• Computer Futures
• Progressive
• Huxley
• Pathway
• Real IT
• Staff search
• Orgtel
• Madisson Black
• Tactical
• Strategic Resource Group
• JP Gray
• The IT Job Board

One (hopefully last) thing - looking at their last results, they make a 35% profit.

So their markup on your daily rate must be pretty big!!
