All my 7 contracts have come through agencies. In that time, I have not really had a cross word with any of them. I have been messed about a bit during the recruitment process by a few agencies, but rarely take it personally. I won't deal with Hoaxley in any way but that is about it.
The rest have been mostly professional, not taken huge percentages and paid on time, what else do I need from them ?
You fail the interview - agent doesn't tell you because SOME nobber contractors get arsey when they get bad news - No call - you didn't get the contract, move on.
Agent finds someone better/cheaper/more local/more desperate/someone they can exploit for bigger margin and doesn't tell you you weren't put forward - you didn't get the contract, move on. As an aside to this, I like the PSL arrangements for this reason.
It is a tough BUSINESS, grow a thick skin, you will need it and don't sweat the small stuff or things you can't control !
