Imagine a Dev Manager / PM at ClientCo needs a role filled.
First off, they think... Mmm wonder if xyz are doing anything and for a few phone calls / e-mails, they may be able to have someone in pretty quick who they know is reliable and without having to go through all the hassle of interviewing etc.
Secondly, if they do go through an agent, if that agent has a few contractors who he's been using for years who have always been reliable and delivered for him, but are now benched, he'll call them up first.
Only after this will it end up being advertised.Comment
