Setting up the 10% agency

[BlackenedBiker]

If you hire agents, how will it run any better than existing agencies? Those agents will work as they always have, policing it would be hard and it could quite easily degenerate from initial high standards.

Policing is key but not impossible.

We need to drag IT recruiting out of the tulip.

More recruiting sectors are nowhere near as OK corale as ours....

Here's a thought. What if members working through CUKCo can act as agents while on contract? A contractor often knows when new contracts are coming up, and exactly what the requirements are. If they pass this on to CUKCo and this leads to someone being place, they get paid for it.

That would imply a kind of organic networking agency concept, maybe cutting down on costs as well as providing better people for the job.

Thoughts?

Also, is their a way to call it Cuckold.. CUKCo Ltd is so close to a chance to do agents over.

Excuse me? Are you talking about NatWest the Bastard tulipbag Bank? NatWest the Screw-You-Over-And-Laugh Bank?

Or Natwest for Fairyland Pixie Dust Sellers?

You sound as if you had a bad experience I am sorry.

Exact-a-mundo (I hate me as well). Viral recruitment. Everyone is happy apart from the bull-tulliping fat ties. And what is more you could still do this whilst on contract through one of the existing agencies, no?

OK I think that I am going to do some proper market research on this.

I will keep you all posted.

Also, don't forget if it's a contractor-run agency you may be able to throw in some free exchanges of training and case studies for benchees (and even super-keen andd energetic people in contracts).

I'm interested, and probably will be more so after feb when my current contract ends.

.........and properly organised substitutions as well during vacations and sickness spells to IR35 proof the whole deal. Agencies couldn't compete with CUKCo Ltd agency.
