So - to break it down. There aren't really any regulations in recruitment - just guidelines. You can be struck out of the REC for example for continued and consistent malpractice - but half the industry seems to get away with it.
I would point out that I would never condone not giving the name of the client, except in exceptional circumstances (ie when you are ousting someone who is in post already, or are in a VERY competitive situation - at which point I would normally ask some fairly heavy qualifying questions!).
It's worth changing your mindset though - agents are not here to block you - we want to help you - its what makes us money ultimately. Yes there are dirty tricksters out there, and I know you've all got tales to tell - but how about innocent until proven guilty? We're not all as bad as you think we are.
