Why don't we name and shame Agents?

I'm too busy earning money.

There was a website up many years ago that did this but they had to take it down. There were a number of the bigger agencies that were being slagged off and who made legal threats.

Well yes, the legal implications are quite pertinent.

Additionally, suppose the tables were turned and an agency site published rumour and opinion about certain contractors eg

Contractor M1 likes to blag his way onto contracts and his cv should be taken with a pinch of salt
Contractor M2 is quite diligent but only when sober..
Contractor M3 has a habit of jumping ship for higher paid contracts.

There isn't anything like this, is there? (apart from that black-list of course!)

How can they be? If you look for reviews of O2 for instance, there are loads of people slagging them off, same with most other things.

Now I know its all down to personal experience, who you speak to on the day in which office etc but why do we never share bad expereinces with Pimps?

There is a website called Hirescores which allows people to rate recruitment agencies. I dunno how accurate the ratings are though as the system seems a bit prone to "manipulation".

Hth,
