Well of course it's their policy to try and scam as many leads as they can. It's the way that they workOriginally posted by spud View PostJust had Huxley ask for 3 references! Apparently it's their policy with new contractors.

Hoaxley
I wonder if they actually have any roles at Hoaxely? Or is there office just one man, a telephone, and a large ball of tumbleweed that rolls from corner to corner while they dream up another faux ad to put on jobserve

Hoaxley ?
What do you mean to say that the guy that phones me this morning was just sniffing for leads???
Huxley have been round the way for ages. I can think back to the early 90's and being dragged in for face to face interviews when they actually did a real job...
That's a shame the job seemed so nice and it was paying a fortune
If none of you want to pass spent leads or connections back to the guys that try and sell you, then you are going to have a long time sat on the bench in this climate. I have had a couple of good results in the past where a total donkey has decided not to bother passing my CV on to a customer only to find me taking the job through another agent that was willing to spend some extra time earning themselves six months cash
So far I have passed several gigs back to agents and I may have even un benched a good friend in the process.Comment

I think I might get a couple of international SkypeIn numbers to dish out to agents.
Or should I get an 0870 number and use that instead, so I can make some cash off the fishing trip....Comment

Give them an 090x number instead. That should get rid of at least 80% of the agencies who are looking to phish.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostI think I might get a couple of international SkypeIn numbers to dish out to agents.
