    list of good agencies

    hi all

    is there a list of good agencies around? i keep hearing of ones going out of business and not paying their contractors.

    might even be good to start one and score on various factors eg how long in business, do they advertise jobs that dont exist etc...

    not that I know of, but I'd add G2 to it

    pay weekly - do a weeks work - post invoice the following Monday and its in the bank by the weekend

    I hear rumours that they take a large cut, but I'm happy with the rate, and happy to get paid quickly - and that's all I'm worried about.

      Cash in hand

      You get paid within 7 days of invoicing? That's really cool. Any other agencies manage that?

              There are a lot of good agents run and staffed by thoroughly honest and reputable people. Only problem is that they all have huge databases but no jobs
              Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone
