    Saw one not too long ago for 2 years expereince with windows server 2007, to which i chuckled, classic being SQL Server 2003. The agents just get a list of an HR person, how got the requirements from an IT manager, none of whom know what they are talking about, but are too arrogant to admit it.

    I have been recruited by an agent who actualy had a broad understanding of the technologies in use, and the whole process was good. He did edit my CV but showed it to me, he cut out some waffle and made it more concise as well. Was a while ago mind.

    Seems to me that the recruitment model has moved from specialist people who know the industry they work in, towards sales dickheads that think bulltulip works.

      I bet Bob and his pals have the required experience.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        I was advised by another contractor at my last gig that "you had to lie to get the work". We were sat in my bosses car at the time. He was gone by the end of the week.

          How else is he supposed to get you to and from the pub?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
