        You are making the mistake thinking you'll get the extra the agent gets. They aren't paying an agent for services anymore so why should you get it?

          don't be so sure.the people that was negotiating with the agent are gone from the company, things changing , some permies are gone too.

            Show the client the incentive to take you direct, which is no fee to pay to an agent.

            Why else would anyone with half a working brain take on someone directly, thereby inheriting a factor of risk for the same money spent?

              Never said it was impossible but don't go assuming this will be the case. Remember you could also be on a 90 day term with much more likelihood if being late as well etc..

                So you're thinking of going direct with a client that's laying people off?

                Good move...

                Don't forget to factor in endlessly chasing money from a client without any....

                  The agency pays me AFTER client pays them . Yeah they told me that. So what's the point of having them.
