Recommended Agencies

Hi all, first time poster here.

Can anyone recommend a decent agency for Public Sector Project Management positions?

Why do you want to get into the Public Sector?

The Tories are going to get in and cull half of those public waste of space departments - and not a moment to soon -

I had a random public sector query... don't think it warrants a whole thread.

When agencies say "must have public sector experience" is there a specific reason or is it just regarding the culture?

Reason I'm asking is that I have public sector experience, but 13 years ago doing different jobs to my current PM skillset.

The public sector may be about to die but still applying for whatever I can.

For example the Scottish parliament

Culture.

The best agency is the one that gets me the gig at the rate I want and manages my payments without fooking me about.

I could recommend a couple that have done exactly that but I bet you a pound to a piece of shit someone else has had a bad experience with them...

Well guys, thanks for confirming the confidence (lack of) that I already had in agencies.

I guess it's on with the web-based job sites then.

I got into the working for a local council & care trust by luck last year - after 4 months on the bench took a crap rate as it was only 5 miles down the road I am now at my second 'Council' but I can not stand the lack pace and comittment.

Some agents tell me that their clients do not want ex-public sector workers and I am getting calls from other with the opening line ' my public sector client.......'

Russam GSM got me my last gig - short term but no interview !!!!

I can thoroughly recommend every agency that has got me a contract.

All the rest are scumbags.

Hope this helps.
