How do I know my CV is presented to the client ? An agency may just take my consent to represent me so that no other agency presents me to the client and never put my application forward (may be they want to prevent competition with their own candidates who are already at some stage of interview).

Agree to exclusive representation when they confirm in writing that your CV has been submitted.Originally posted by raphal View Post -
That doen't make sense because you are also their candidateOriginally posted by raphal View Post
This doesn't sound like a feasible scenario.
They have more chance of success if they offer more than one candidate, particularly if you are better.I'm alright JackComment

^They are not going to submit 50 CVs. It's perfectly feasible that they will submit 3-6 then tell other candidates they are perfect but not represent them.Comment

Always agree to be represented provided your CV is submitted.Comment

Another thing, always insist that the recruiter can represent you for a fixed period of time to get you an interview.
Failing an interview time and date, consider yourself free to be represented by another agency.
That way, if they don't get you an interview, you have an obligation to yourself to get a better recruiter for a gig.
Actually, the question is quite interesting in that if you get the gig, you know the usual "you can't approach client directly within X months", but we don't speak about the time limit for approaching the client if no interview is forthcoming.Comment

It does if it stops you being represented by another agent, it gives their prime candidates a better chance by taking you out of the game.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostThat doen't make sense because you are also their candidate

I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Incredibly naive to be brutally honest. This is exactly what agents do, especially when there are multiple agencies competing to place someone for a gig.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostThat doen't make sense because you are also their candidate

They keep you off the market for the first round, then have you as a backup if none of their first round of interviewees get picked.Comment
