I'm probably finishing my present contract at the end of next month, so i chucked my CV up on the job boards over the weekend, and as per usual today I've been contacted by several agents with the usual mix of unsuitable roles and/or fishing exercises. However, i did have one that seems fairly genuine and has a role coming up in April and is keen to get me across to the client. However he's asked me to send an email with this exclusive representation statement in it, which is something I've never done before. In the past its just been a verbal agreement over the phone that i am happy for them to represent me to the client, and obviously if i'm contacted by someone else for the same role, i just say i'm afraid i'm already being represented.
He's divulged the client name which would seem to indicate the role is pretty genuine and i've got no quarms with him representing me if I get the rate I've asked for.
However, regardless of the outcome of this role, this seems to ensure that in the future i could only ever go to this company via them.
I've no idea if they would be unwilling to submit me if i don't send it, as i only received it tonight, but if that was the case then i guess i can always go direct now i know who it is
Not had this before, thoughts?
