    Contract with LaFosse

    Hi guys,

    Got a contract opportunity with LaFosse, anyone recommend them. Do they pay on time? Anything I need to look out for on the contract agreement?
    Thanks

      Never worked for them but had several bad experiences with them in the application process. Twice they told e they had forwarded my CV to clinets of them and twice I found out they lied.
      One time went through a 4 round interview process (which is quite extraordinary for a contract) and they didn't bother to inform me on the outcome. I sent them a bill for wasting my time, they never replied

            Haven't we done this one already?

            I have one last payment due from them before I could possibly comment on this one

              Thanks for the replies. First contract opportunity so nervous. I had one round of interview and was offered. Will give a shot and hope it goes well.

                  My experience with La Fosse has generally been very good. Placed at a good gig last year, they always paid on time. The selection process was smooth and I was always kept informed. I would work through them again - they contact me from time to time with potential opportunities.

                  However, they did have some admin mix up around May/June when one of their staff left (the person who used to handle invoices.) That affected me because one of my invoices was delayed in payment (not a huge amount.) I've got a friend who also contracted through them and he had an issue with non-payment of an invoice but La Fosse sorted it out quickly.

                    ..

                    Last payment received on time.

                    I had a huge falling out with them over the terms of an extension. I didn't accept in the end. I was worried about the last payment but even though the client authoriser was on leave, LaFosse went out of their way to authorise someone else and the timesheet and invoice were processed promptly according to the terms of my original contract.

                    I would use them again if they could get over their insistence on completing compliance questionnaires
