I once met an agent who claimed to have slept with a contractor to get them to take the gig!

Name and praise please.

Would you rather deal (as a client or contractor) with an agency that is full of professional men and women (of average looks) that understand technology, are close to their clients and behave with impeccable professionalism? or alternatively do you prefer being wined and dined by top totty with large bre*sts who dont know the difference between a computer and a potty?

Was only talking about something similar few month back! How alot of the main companies in the City use the Female art of seduction! I can imagine numerous accounts have been entered when a female face has been present for agencies. I guess they call them the Recruiters or Account Managers? As above them are the Directors?

I've actually heard of 3 contractors who slept with female recruiters to take the gig! 2 of them were in high paying SAP roles [£1100 a day last year] in Europe. So you can see why "she" would have done it - as more than likely the gigs were 12 months +

Ahh well!

Using hookers to entice contractors is taking the pimp tag too literally. Nice idea though.
