Clinical Coders

[LucyMears]

Hi all,

So, after looking through some of these posts it seems that some people really have some issues with recruitment agents!!!

I would like to think that I am different in my approach, after all it is keeping you guys happy which is just as important as providing a good service to the client - I would much rather that you didn't walk off site halfway through the contract!!

I am hoping for some help/advice, I am currently seeking clinical coders for new contracts based in the South of England. If you know any then please direct them to my details here where they get in contact.

I look forward to it,

Kind regards,

Sarah

No, that's not strictly true. People have issues with those who lie, manipulate and deceive them - as I'm sure you would if you were on the receiving end.

I would love to see a forum of recruitment agents bitching about those "lying, cheating contractors" but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I wonder why?

So, multiple personality disorder or a more-than-usually dishonest agent?

Lucy,

Agents don't get a terribly nice reception here in general so my advice is you prepare for a lot of abuse and refuse to be drawn in. Demonstrate your professionalism and get involved with the community a little (helping answer questions in this forum for instance) before starting to advertise roles here, or you may be chased out

Perhaps if you hadn't used an anecdotal stereotype then you'd get a bit more of a constructive response. I have been contracting 15 years and can't remember a single contractor colleague that has walked off without completing his/her current contract - no matter how pissed off they were.

It's called "being professional".

Strange, it's discussed all the time here by contractors asking "I found a contract with a higher rate, how do I get out of my current contract?"

I would code for a clinic. Provided they are looking after **** and I get to write DNR on her papers. IGMC....

Sarah : I dont think the choice of Lucy for a username was a good one. But if you get your account upgraded to receive PMs (contact admin) then I might apply.

... and are most frequently answered "Be professional; you give contractors a bad name; don't".

*cough* *splutter*

I blame the client and agency though, and I had taken as much as I could.

Earlier this year I had a contract terminated (with the contractual notice period) by my client 3 weeks before it was due to end. Was my client "being professional"?
