Their shares shot up today. Up over 20% from start of trading.

Shut it down, along with the rest of the company, with any luck.

They're worse than S3, IMHO.

Couldn't agree more - the contract terms are a joke, the rates are worse than a joke and they seem to have completely lost the original point of the company (making good use of skilled part-time workers, mostly women with childcare responsibilities). The only downside is that its Steria that's killed them off - a bit like Tweedledum shooting Tweedledee.

I was told by a certain contract reviewing company well known and respected in these parts that Xansa are the only agency that refuses to deal with them. At all. They don't even return phone calls.

Worst. Agency. Ever.

I'd sooner go S3.

Xansa have made a lot of Indian IT staff on intra-company visas very happy and a lot of in house IT staff very unemployed.
