Bite Consulting

[Boney M]

I'm currently a victim, I thought after giving them 15% for 65 days I could walk away to do my own thing, but no they are not having it. They just "kindly" reduced their margin to 10% for the duration of the contract. I got my contract applying for jobs on Jobserve, had absolutely nothing to do with them. I have though of walking away from the situation but don't want to ruin my relationship with recruitment agency that introduced me for the contract. I'm deeply disgusted with the whole BS and need to rid myself of Bite ASAP. Can anyone please recommend a lawyer specialised in situations such as this? I need help

So let me get this right, you signed up to them, they have not found you a role. You found your role on Jobserve with no interaction from them and they have been taking 15% of this until recently whereby they are now taking 10%?

Sounds like that's the gist of it. The justification being that, without their input to help with his CV, he wouldn't have found his job on jobserve. You'd be way better off (to the tune of thousands) with a £200 CV review service if you think you need it.

Does the fact that anyone can just browse onto their server (not talking about recruiters or agencies here) and pull your CV out not bother you?

Never has such a saying meant so much -

"A fool and his money are easily parted"

Indeed. Click 'Search for contract staff' under the agency link, type in a keyword, choose your victim, click 'more details' and download their resume which gives postcode, phone number and full CV. No registration or similar required.

I can't believe how insecure their site is. SQL injection open to take the DB down if anyone is so inclined?

They are scum, a cautionary tale for everyone out there, avoid leeches like these no matter how desperate you may be...

[Darksider]

The whole website thing (holding CV's that anyone can get hold of), surely must be breaking some kind of data protection act or some sort?

And yes, SQL injection could cause havoc...

What does your contract with Bite say about early exit?

There is no clear early exit clause in the contract

Yes Boney, that is the situation I'm currently faced with, they had zero input in finding any contract for me. I have paid them 15% of my contract sum for 65 working days and now as a goodwill gesture they have reduced it to 10%, all for signing a piece of paper.

Can you put up a copy of the contract you signed with them?
