I've applied for a role through agency 1, without any interview being planned. I've heard nothing back for 2 weeks, then I was contacted by agency 2 for the same role. Thinking that agency 1 may have binned my CV I've applied for the role with agency 2 as well.
Hilarious situation today: both pimps phoned me (5 mins apart) and now I've got a phone interview via agency 1 and a second via agency 2 (same day). Pimp from agency 1 phoned me a second time asking about other agencies involved. At this stage I don't know what to do, the client obviously knows about this and I don't want to loose both interviews because of a stupid situation.
I may say to agency 2 that I've got another contract in the meantime and go only via agency 1 (pay roughly the same via both agencies, agency 2 5% more). The first pimp wants a confirmation via email that I want to be represented by them.
So what should I do? Is there a rule-of-thumb that prevents contractors from being represented via two different agencies?
Thanks in advance,
Viktor
