Approaching Clients Direct

OR, you could post your own ad on Jobserve offering 'Market Rate' with a generic description of what you do... When the punters start calling, get them to list every position they've held in the last 2 years, complete with manager's name (use the term references to justify this data collection), also request details of any current applications (to avoid submitting their CV twice). Subsequently cold call every name on your list until you're blue in the face

Interesting point. Nothing wrong with being one's own agent!

Could even set up another 'agency' company so the client's don't suss it out, if they insist on going via an agency rather than direct.
