Agents naming the client

[snaw]

Just a quickie.

I was having a conversation with a mate last night, who's relatively new to contracting, who'd just had an agent not put him forward for a job because he wanted to know who it was for first and she wouldn't tell him till he agreed to be put forward.

Dumb I know.

Can't find the relevant bit of legisaltion but pretty sure they're legally obliged to tell you (Apart from all the other obvious reasons why they should).

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Closest I could find was 9.2.1.2 but don't think that's exactly what you are looking for.

Link for the regs is on this page if you fancy trawling through it.

She's just trying to stop your mate going direct. She wouldn't tell him the client until he agreed to be represented soley by them for this role I should imagine, rather than agreeing to be put forward.

See what you're saying, but that's not his impression of the conversation - though it might have been hers. He just wanted to know who it was so he didn't cross his wires, so to speak.

Cheers, I'll take a peek.

I will not agree to my CV going anywhere unless I know where it is going, and that's final as far as I'm concerned. There are several client co's that I wouldn't want my CV to go to. Anyway, there's probably an 70 to 80% chance I know about it anyway if it's a local-ish gig or in an area where I have good contacts so I can usually guess and say to the agent "oh, it's the job at so-and-so Ltd then".

The paternalistic approach that these graduate-in-media-studies-******-trainee-recruitment-"consultant"-***** have where everything is MY client and it's MY client and they must look after the relationship ...

...******* do-one, you wank stains.

Have you fallen for this one by any chance? (I know I have in the past )
