Agents exaggerating?

[Mich the Tester]

It wasn't Hoaxley was it?

Now they’re a bunch of tossers if ever there was one. When they call, their agents always say ‘Hi Mich, good to talk to you, how are you doing mate?’ as if I know them personally and spend my evenings in the pub with them. I don’t like this fake chumminess.

That's interesting info, thanks for that. I'll get on there today! I always thought Monster was just a low-level/junior version of jobserve for university leavers.

I've not seen many PM contract roles on monster.

Isn't their business model to give access willy nilly, but for a fee. Difference here is someone didn't pay. Boo blooming hoo.

I've actually put my rate up by €10 per hour and everyone has said fine ,we can cover that. Obviously I wasn't charging enough before (actually I was as a lot of agents, well only UK ones, said that was too much.)

well in Jan I had 5 calls off it

3 from India wanting to place me in London

1 from the company I am with now

1 from a Water Board in Essex paying a decent rate for 8 months.

All these were obv direct - and it means I dont need to deal with Agents.
