Come in for a quick chat...

Well done!

[Antman]

To Anubis, congrats on the gig!

I'm sure the agent will now bang on about how he adds value to the whole process to anybody who's listening (most probably just his mother).

Congrats on the gig

...waits to see KingCook in court on slander/libel charges.....

Many, many years ago (at least ten, more like fifteen) there was just such a site that got closed down for exactly those reasons. I can't recall what it was called though.

Now wait for the agent to call with the news (lies) that the client is now only willing to pay original rate minus 10% in a rubbish attempt to increase their margin.

+1 on TEKSystems - I was really worried about them 'just getting 2 references' so I sent it straight to the client, the client however passed it back to TEK and now the references people have confirmed that they have not been harassed by TEK.

You do realise TEK Systems are the same people as Aston Carter and part of the Allegis Group?

The role I applied for was via Aston Carter before I knew they were part of this crowd. I got return calls and mails from TEK Systems and replied sorry, Im not interested in the details you've sent me as I've already been submitted.

Next minute Im getting calls from an account manager asking me why Im no longer interested. Explained why, he then goes on to say AC and TEK are part of Allegis and they are essentially the same people just wearing different 'hats' when they contacted me.

Sounds a weird way to do business imo.

In any event, I gather Allegis were to be avoided with a barge pole and didnt have a good reputation.

I've been in for a chat with Allegis once, total waste of time.

However I have contracted with them on a different occasion and they were self billing. Timesheet signed and sent on the Monday and in the bank Thursday evening.
