Does there exist the equivalent of the CUK forum...for agents?

[The Agents View]

I can direct you to an excellent forum for agents if you like? One of the leaders in the field of agent forums, with a really good international reputation and brand. You're interested, yeah? Great! Well, if you can just send me three references first then I'll get the link across to you straight away.

Happily....I expect them from you, you have a right to expect them from me.....

"TAV was very effective in securing an excellent assignment for me which closely matched my skills. He understood the needs of the client and we formed a strong working relationship throughout the duration of the long engagement"

“TAV has found me some of my best ever people. He listens to what you want and works very, very hard to meet your requirements. He has shown great judgement in candidate selection and has saved me days of work in creating my shortlists. He strikes a good balance between looking after his clients and still presenting value to the customer. He is good company, trustworthy and reliable.”

"TAV has provided me with excellent recruitment advice and assistance on a number of occasions. He has selected good quality candidates for interview and taken time to understand the requirements resulting in successful appointments. TAV is always professional, knowledgeable a pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”


And yes, these are all genuine recommendations, and yes, I have changed references to my real name on them.

Now....about that excellent forum......

I am a great believer in judging people on how they behave rather than taking what they say about themselves at face value.

Back in the day there was an old website that sounded like it was a contractor site but for some reason attracted the agents. If ever you needed an insight into the true agressive sales driven nature of IT recruitment then you would find it on the forums there but it looks like that site has long gone. To be fair I think IT recruitment has somewhat mellowed over the years. I guess if sales is your game then there are probably more lucrative businesses to be in these days.
