WHS. Usually any emails would be to confirm interview.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostThey have no role at all. They would not dare throw up any sort of unnecessary barrier to the right candidate for the right job. I suggest you give them your previous agents as references.
Q? - Can a agent make use of client co's HR reference(my previous client co HR wont directly hire - they use PSL)?. If my CV is not selected, I'd want to tell this guy - 'i've advised my client co HR to blacklist your agency 'cause you phish' or something to that effect.
Actually i'd love to threaten every agent who'd ask for a reference
