1. Negotiate the rate and terms
2. Appreciate and understand the key skills of the contractor
3. Conduct undercover investigation to verify the authenticity of the job - whether advertised or uncovering why the candidate did not get offered.
4. The service can be wrapped up with the running of the contractors finances. many IFAs are very good at sales and could manage the entire relationship and marketing of a contractor.
The fee payable can be determined by whether it was a direct contract and or by the fee that is negotiated. The fee does not need to come in the form of a margin. It can be paid as a lump sum by the contractor and can have contingency terms built in to it.
There would of course need to be a large element of trust between parties that would say limit who the agent worked for and for how many. There would need to be transparency to ensure that the agent is acting entirely in the interests of the contractor.
