Just had an agency call me back twice in 2 days in regard to a role I have applied for. The end client I have done some work for as a contractor and I also worked for them as a permie (14 years ago).
The first call was to ask me to state who my line manager was as a permie and as a contractor. I said I thought it was irrelevant and said I was happy to supply references. When I said I didn't think any of them would be still in the company they still insisted.
The second call just now was to insist that I put the exact dates on my CV for when each contract was - including my last permie role. I currently just have durations of each contract.
I am livid (as well as sick!)
I was told it was "due to the SLA they have with the end client! 
I am going to (reluctantly) do it since I think I stand a good chance of getting the role but am I being too sensitive or have the agency got a complete cheek?
