    how to find out a client's PSL?

    Hi, I know a company that is probably hiring, but they won't deal with me, the contractor, directly. How do I find out what their PSL is so I can go through the best channel?

    Phone up their receptionist and ask to speak to someone regarding procurement.

        I'd call their HR and outright ask which agencies you should approach if interested in contract work for them.

                But does that actually work? In my experience HR people are very anti-contractor and the best way to cope with them is avoid coming to their attention in the first place.

                  Don't say anything aout being a contractor to HR, just ask them which agencies you should approach when looking for work at the company.

                    Thanks, but then they'll say, "Just send us your CV directly" and it will go into the void.
