Agency asking for info

[swashplate73]

Just been asked for this info for a new contract role:

1. Full Name
2. Address, Personal Email, Telephone Number,
3. Notice period
4. 3 references (won't be contacted without your permission to do so.
5. Right to work in U.K. - passport and national insurance number.
6. Date of Birth
7.scanned copy of passport

Kind of set alarm bells going for me. Whats the deal with NI/Passport information when working through your own Limited company?

Cheers,
James

Proves you are who you say you are & that you're eligible to work in the uk.

On this point, they are lying to you.

If they want references then anyone who has known you for a few years who isn't related to you and is in a decent sounding profession will do. Plus if you volunteer for anything the organiser would be a good reference.

If they insist they have to be former end-clients then ignore them.

In the FAQ/Welcome part of the forums where first posts tend to happen you'll find yet another sticky titled 'CUK Netiquette: A guide for newbies' which will give you some information about looking around the forums first to see if you question has been answered before
