Speechless

If he was desperate to get good guy he'd put up a high rate - looks like he is desperate to get someone while keeping his own margin high.
 
East Kent - Is that Phizer. Might be worth copying the advert to somebody there to show how much value this recruitment consultant is adding.

"Andy Slumbers". I'll say!
 
I've had that loads of times.

Agent: "do you do java?"
Me: "not recently"
Agent: "can you do java?"
Me: "not very well"
Agent: "Thats good enough - can you modify your CV!"
 
Clients dont pay the money

Im afraid it is actually the clients who never want to pay for quality staff rather than agent's margins!. The problem is, especially with many parts of Kent is that clients want top quality staff for peanuts. Our margins are around 10 - 15% of the rate charged which I beleive is fare for getting you the work. If clients have a set rate they wish to pay please dont blame the agency for thier 'margin' as it is not true. Please before making assumptions call the agency.
