Them tricky old agents

[DodgyAgent]

Shame isn't it. Wouldn't it be easier for the agent to just say "You are too late for this cut on the role unless our first three tank it. But I will submit your details to the client for future reference"

that is what we do. In fact if we like/know the contractor we will tell him who the other agents are

I appreciate your honesty most of the time DA, but I find this incredibly hard to take in. In fact I'd like to ask all the contractors here about this scenario. Has this EVER happened??? (ie your agent telling the contractor their shortlist to send to the client is full, but hey try one of the other agents, and by the way here's a list telling you who the other agents are)

I will add that we only get one job a year

Why? If you are in my "friends" table then its beneficial cos once your in, you can get me in. Actually this genuinely happened recently, ex client started new role in client site after I advised her that client was recruiting but I had no way in, she in, now she is heading up a major programme and has dragged me in for the recruitment. That extension is looking more and more feasible at this rate...
