BAs were paid anything between 250 and 600 per day, in the last 5-7 years. Probably less now, as companies want everyone cheaper, which agents enjoy providing them with.

To my mind, if the rate is higher, then there is much more potential margin to be gained in actual ££s, as there will be a wider pool of potential candidates to select from; this in turn enhances the likelihood of Agent placing, resulting in their cut. Then take into account those Agents on fixed rate/margin, such as many PSL circumstances, and x% of rate compared to x% of much-better-rate does not equal enjoyment....

Are you seriously suggesting that no client co has told agents "we want cheapest we can get"?Comment

OK so no client co has told agents they want the cheapest they can get hold of. No agent has ever told client co "sorry but we refuse on moral and ethical grounds to get you people on the cheap". All this occurs in lah lah land.Comment

Or that if agencies simply quote the lowest possible day rate any decent contractor will go to a different agent who are in competition with the first agent and hence the first agent will get only very poor candidates and thus get dropped by the client. You don't realise that? Then you might be one of the poor candidates!
Personally my lowest day rate was £430 a day and the highest I interviewed for was £650, I have not really experienced this conspiracy you are experiencing. It might just be you?Comment

Originally posted by masonryan View PostOH really so that's the justification for misleading people about what the rate of pay is ? How desperate.
