    I prefer getting a burner sim while I'm job hunting because I've been fortunate enough not to be looking for work through agencies all that often and when I'm happy in a contract I'd rather not be pestered by pimps. As for getting repeat business from clients, I deal with that by keeping in touch with my contacts through linked-in or social gatherings.

    Each to their own though, I understand how some people don't mind if agents have their number.

      there's logic to that. given that most of us have multiple roles, at different stages, fielding questions all day from candidates "just wanting an update" does somewhat interupt the flow. Ultimately, if there was any news that would get you closer to the gig, we'd tell you - otherwise, you're just slowing things up, and the more you do that, the less likely we are to be able to solicit that feedback........
