I have been at this client for some 4 years now, and the only thing the agency has done in that entire time is advertise for the initial role and forward my CV to the client. I didn't even meet the agent until 2 years later!
I have rarely heard from the agent, to the extent that I have to chase my own renewals and negotiate my own rates and extensions. Unlike other contractors/agencies at this client, this agency never takes its contractors out for lunch or beers or anything. Not even a social call!
As is the norm, I am tied into the agency through the contract, which state the usual glarb about not being able to work at the client for 12 months through anyone else etc.
Now though I am sick and tired of their lackadaisical attitude and would like nothing better than to dump them. From your experience is this in any way possible?
