First of all they are going to be dumb and incompetent, you'll pick that up within the first 30 seconds of conversation. They'll also have a chip on their shoulder about how much money you can make and be amazed you aren't jumping at these 200 a day roles.
It's just how it is. The senior people in the agency who know their businesses have more interesting and better things to do than be involved in the cv filter and harvest, so they hire some cheap idiots who can't get a better job.
Go direct to your clients or put up with idiots, it's just how it is.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
