Can an agency find out what rate you were on previously?

[Hireonomy]

Why would an education check tell you what the daily rate was?

If you ask the client what the daily rate is, how do they know? Do all your clients know what rate the agents are passing on to the consultant, and if so, how? Do you demand that all references given must be in a position to know what the rate is?

If I'm going via an agency, then the only people who know what my rate is would be myself and the agent. Certain individuals at the client might have a rough idea, but it won't be many and very few that would know the actual rate. Or do you insist on getting a reference from the agency as well?

By education check I mean University result check (or equivalent) and any professional qualifications check.

Our clients know what the daily rate is for the contractor, we openly tell them. Like we tell the contractors the rate we charge the client.

Do you disclose your former suppliers' daily rates if asked at reference?

If weve received a signed declaration allowing us to do so

+1, At the end of the day if you are no good then the client can bin you in 5 minutes so all of this reference cr@p is just that. Education, I left university almost 20 years ago, are you really telling me you are going to contact them for confirmation of my degree results, seems a lot of hassle and extra work for you for a 3/6 month contract (one wonders how you can provide all these 'value adds' to the client while charging only 7% )

No hassle at all, amd havent had any complaints with the request.

Is funny how Agents get a bad rep on here for charging 15+% margin....and we're getting the same for being open and transparent about 7% mark - up

Cant please those who dont want to be pleased, I guess

Well I haven't been to university, and while my ISEB certificates are legit, the BCS are hopeless at showing them against my name because I have more than one candidate number against my name and their system can't cope with that.

I'm a nightmare I am..

Is that 7% inc. VAT or ex. VAT?
