Just had a call from one seemingly being honesthonest.

Back door means of obtaining contact names backfire
Giving the name of a contact name could cause another fellow contractorOriginally posted by RichardCranium View PostA reminder for the newbies, naïve or forgetful:
Recruitment agents are habitual liars

problems. There is nothing worst based on my experience of having my
CV sent to a client by an agent who is not on the official supplier list.
Most Multi -National companies only deal with approved agents.
It does't matter how much the agency cries fowl,the HR department will not
authorise contracts to be signed with unofficial suppliersComment
