To be fair, I think it's a brilliant idea.
10 Pissed contractors, jeering every presentation.
Classic.
When I first with my other half, her father invited me to a do with his daughter and wife. At the table was a friend of the fathers and he mentioned he had a recruitment agency.
So the guy and his wife introduced himself and said 'I understand we're in the same business' and I replied 'Sort of, I'm the hooker and you're the pimp, so yes, I suppose you could say same business'

I have often wondered about these awards as to whether anyone actually gives a s**t outside of the recruitment agencies involved. The only people who I imagine will be impressed are the low level HR recruitment people desperate to "tick boxes" in order to justify their selection of agencies on their PSL.
I also know that these recruitment companies set out deliberatly to compete for these awards, that they are prepared and "spun" accordingly. These are not "snapshot" awards dished out as a result of behind the scenes, painstaking research. I know as it has been suggested to me that I should join in this masturbation fest in order to enhance the profile and value of my business.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I know you have strong views on the value added side of things, but from my side agents are a cost to my business and rarely do they bring any value to me.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Somehow the words "Recruitment agent" and "excellence" don't go together'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
