Apart form the speling issues it will probably be quite effective.

Salary: £300 - £1000 per day + market rate ring for details

So £300 - £100 per day, and then they add on market rate

This advert has been doing the rounds on Jobserve for a while, I think it originally accompanied a legitimate(probably not) advert from a rival agency with very high rates.

This particular pimp seems to put up quite a few strange adverts.

Circle recruitment... Tariq is the poster. Funny guy. Spoken to him a few times. That's his general style of posting.

Good recruiter or just funny?

Don't know if he is a good recruiter. Have never landed a job with him. But if push comes to shove, he would get you a job. Have heard instances of him buying candidates meals (especially if female ones) if they land a job via him.

Whatever he is the advert is composed by an illiterate spiv who would not be worthy of selling second hand motors on my car lot.

Sense of humour failure DA?

I've spoken to him a few times too.. not sure what to make of him. He seems a nice guy alright, but on the first time we spoke he insisted on exclusivity (!) and got a bit pushy. Got the impression he wears a baseball cap the wrong way round. He also made some very high claims on his capabilities and contacts in the UK industry (red rag to a bull for me, emphasis on bull), but even after giving the benefit of the doubt i've seen nothing substantial arising from this particular recruiter or agency.

Aye, eye catching ad alright though.
