Ask them to name the client, if they cant do that then they are not serious.

But there is a real possibility 'unfortunately your application is not successful at this time'.

Wonder whats the next wobbly!

They 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.

WHS+1;

Usually when an agent has a real role and sees my CV as a perfect fit I know because they give off the impression that they would drive round to my house to get me to commit.
