    A low achiever like you would never be asked to search for such highly skilled staff.

    Love AssGuru.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        And anyone who gave you one would still be smiling as they bent over for you, would they not? (Double entendres intended).

                    Bringing this slightly more back on topic...

                    No, as I got a new contract last week at [generic large bank] in London. BA, but not IT

                      Just started a direct one last Monday at an IB, Analyst / Developer sort of hybrid role, but based with the business.

                      Thing is, everyone's market is different, some will be doing well, others less so.
                      Even in a buoyant market this holds true, its just some will be getting a much higher day rate than others.

                      When times get hard, you have to realise that there are plenty of people on the market to choose from and.......

                      a) People will be filling contracts direct as experienced resource becomes more important, as resource is limited.

                      b) Agents "pet" contractors will be made aware of and are applying for roles that never hit the job boards.
