    Anyone used CPS before (Computer Project Services)

    Have a face to face through them soon and wondered if anyone had been placed by them before.
    Any comments (good and bad) appreciated

    Thanks

    Do they have a contract for which they're putting you forward?

    Its not usual just to meet the agent unless you're meeting 5 minutes from home...

      Sorry, yes. Badly worded question.
      They are acting as an agency. I have had a phone interview with a client of theirs and been asked to go through for a face to face.
      Something the director said to me the other day makes me a bit worried about getting paid so was thinking of credit checking them

        Should be credit checking your agency anyway! Especially as they sound small scale!

        Try speaking to some of the brolly companies too - they tend to be a good source of info as to who pays, and who doesn't.

          Had the browser window resized and it truncated the thread title. I was thinking "Been placed by the CPS, are you looking for a gig in Wormwood Scrubs?"

            It's a long term gig
