So I'm going through my job alert emails on Bank Holiday Monday, as you do.
Here's one that's a great match, an email direct from the agency.
So I try to apply using their web site.

Just tried again (it is Crapita, BTW) and it is still knackered. But there's a phone number on the job ad. I ring it - it is the client!!! I shall apply direct.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostSo I'm going through my job alert emails on Bank Holiday Monday, as you do. Here's one that's a great match, an email direct from the agency. So I try to apply using their web site.

It is a permie and Crapita advertised it at "£60,000 - £60,000". Probably pays about £60k then.
Our client says: "£33,900 - £56,000". So they're probably thinking of paying about £44k.
So Crapita lied. What a surprise.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
