Actually that is quite true. Now I am rapidly approaching 40 years of age, 10 years in IT recruitment (admitedly for the same agency) I would not want to start in recruitment now. The new guy's we have coming to work in our new business team are so driven and forthright about everything, me I prefer the client lunches and contractor drinks!

So this is what its all about
I have taken verbal agreement from my references to supply their information to my future employer.
Amoria Bond (a bloody recruting agency!), called my reference to offer her some candidates, they refused to give their source of information so my reference went mad and called me asking if I gave her information to Amoria Bond... I have embarrassingly confirmed.
I stoped giving references after I gave them twice as I have noticed this pattern and now after reading this thread, I am happy that I did the right thing!Comment

Just got a call about this while reading the thread!!!
I just got a call WHILE reading this thread.
The agent has requirments that fits my skills and for the other parts that don't fit, the company will do a training for me so no worries! Even the location of the company is happend to be near my home. (Agents are more creative now).
The company works in defense so he can't give me much information about the type of projects involved and they require the referrals from my team leaders in previous roles. I had to tell him sorry I can't and to turn this brilliant job down!
How pathetic!!!Comment
