Micheal Bailey Associates v ZeroChaos? Good or Bad Experiences?

[treadstone54]

Hi,

This is specifically for Belgium or Netherlands based contractors.
A group of us have to move agency to a fixed by my client choice, of either Micheal Bailey Associates or ZeroChaos in Belgium and The Netherlands.
I am not concerned with the agents personality, arrange my own extensions. Contract terms are being transferred as a condition imposed by the client on the agents.
All I am concerned about is the length of the payment cycle, and how reliably the agent sticks to it, and obviously late payment is an issue.

If anyone could spare a couple of minutes to share that would be great.

Many Thanks.

I've contracted through Michael Bailey Associates (MBA) in the Netherlands, and they are very good in all respects.

Zero who?

Never heard of Zerochaos.

Several people I know have worked through MBA and they seem OK. Certainly better than most of the other UK-style agencies.

I haven't worked through MBA but do have dealings with them regarding potential roles and have found them professional to say the least.

I've worked through MBA when I contracted in Belgium in 2005. They were good, quick payment and they would hold nights out to meet us contractors and buy us booze (it wasn't a wild house party but for these type of details I recommend 'em).
