Hopefully the highest possible, just as you should be aiming for the highest rate possible. He is working for a profit making company, not a public service.
It looks like you've bought the Rand Corporation Cold War bleak self-interest zero-sum game theory
Are you guys (SA et al) always this rude to agents?
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

I'm always fairly polite and even engage in banter from time to time, usually at the expense of the company the agent is trying to recruit for - eg caudwell group, moneysupermarket.com
The only thing i really hate about some agents is the fake contracts used to fish for leads, although i've wised up to that now so I don't fall for it so it doesn't bug me.

No of course not!
I'm rude to people who ring me up and ask me to explain my job to them, so they can keep an eye out for me (happens more often than you'd think). It drives me nuts and I more often than not give them loads of abuse then just hang up on them.
I also hang up on agents who's accents I cant understand - sorry but if I cant understand your broken English now, I'll be livid when I haven't been paid and am trying to get an explaination off you!
Apart from that, I'm normally nice as pie - they're just doing a job after all.
BUT agents like Jamie (who can't possibly be real, but who I'll be looking out for in the future - I deal with IT Recruit a lot) shouldn't come on here touting for jobs and spouting his smarmy patter without expecting to be instantly shot down! Come on!
All you need to do is maintain a good relationship with a few good agents. It's only the newbies who should/could be having problems. It may be those still having problems have the wrong (bad) attitude.

This whole thread looks like a wind up. Jamie you are AtW and I claim my £5.

I didn't come on here to tout any jobs and I hope i'm real! Look I didn't come on here to take crap just to say don't slag off all of us because we are not all crooks like you think.
