I thought for permie jobs the salary was unaffected by agent's margin.

Everything is affected by the agent's margin. The company can spend x groats on finding, recruiting and paying someone. Therefore the salary is x-the other costs.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

You have had just one too many kicks in the head at the bottom of the ruck.
The agents fees are three stage payments and they are not deducted from the candidates pay. Clients usually deduct headhunter fees from their IT contractors budgetsLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

If you are a contractor the agent tries to screw your rate down
If you are a permie, they try to jack your rate up
thats what I always thought

I thought EO was right because I thought the agents get an introduction fee for Permies which is a percentage of what they earn I think so the more the better.
With contractors they seem to do what they want, although I think the general rule of thumb is that they agree a rate for the contractor and then their % markup is on top, but I think we all know that not all of them are that honest.
I've seen one agency with a 110% markup (based on actual invoices vs contractors invoice) although the client thought they were paying 10% markup, however that agency was booted as soon as they found out.Comment
