Anyone ever, having received a job spec from an agent, contacted the client to try and go direct by finding out their contact name and details looking at the document's metadata?

No. Next. -
Got a spec from an agent the other day, he had gone to lots of trouble to remove all references to the client from the document .... but I didn't even have to look in the metadata - just looked at the document properties and the eejit had left the author and company name in there!?!?Comment

usually i just take the "europe's largest financial retail blah blah" bit at the top, cut n paste into google and it's a direct quote from the companies own website About Us section..
and then yes i contact them direct unless it's came from a trusted known agency i've used in the past.. depends on if they have a Pref Supplier ListThe proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

Bypassing the agent (spit) is about as ethical as when the agency creates fake jobs to harvest contractor references to sell in a cheaper body to replace you.
