what was the reason for them not paying you for 4 weeks, was it financial difficulties or just admin problems.

did they give you a reason?

[Swashbuckler]

Shame I didn't read this thread before dealing with these jokers.

I'm sure they posted a fictional job position, as usually other agencies post the same role on Jobserve.

Reason I suspect that is when I phoned the guy up all he wanted to do was find out who I'd work with saying "it would help with my application".

Secondly he wouldn't reveal the client name.

Thirdly fobbed me off with "...going into a meeting now will call you this afternoon".

Can I name the individual or that a bit naughty?

[Ardesco]

Name and Shame ahoy!!!

I've had a call from them about a role. Sounded like it was coming from the other side of the planet there was such a delay and echo on it. Anyway at the end of it they sent me the job spec after saying they will put me forward for it and also send another email wanting me to confirm I'm only represented by them etc and asking if I wish to 'opt out'. Haven't replied to it yet.

Now having read this I wish I hadn't even spoken to them. Has anyone ended up actually working through them?

Yes me - in my capacity as someone who always manages to pick the fantastic agencies, Futuro being a particular favourite.

On a positive note they have a decent credit rating, they have always paid me on time, they re-worded my contract when I asked and they swapped my contract within 12 hours of the P4 fiasco.

On a more negative note they may be taking a big chunk of margin ... but on the other hand it could be my consultancy who is taking it, I don't have visibility of who it is!!

Yes me

They're doomed!

They obviously don't realise contractors talk to each other or reputation is important.

In what way is an agency's reputation with contractors important to the agency ?
