I had a Linkedin invite from an agent who stated the following on his profile:

Experienced Recruiter/Manager with a particular knack of finding highly niche skill sets from across the world within very short time frames and under budget.
Recent examples include:

- Network Engineer for a FTSE 100 FMCG company - found a CCIE candidate within 24 hours and £50pd under budget
- AIX Administrator for Cisco & Microsoft Gold Partner - found a Czech national living in Spain at £130pd under market rates who was on site in the UK within 48 hours of receiving the offer.
- Technical Project Manager for a leading Consultancy - telephone IV within 30 minutes and starting the next day at £90pd under budget

I did not reply.

Was the agent from India by any chance?

I thought (some) agents were stupid but this proves it.

No. The agent is real, on linkedin and from the UK.

An agent use to send me information about what rates other contractors were asking for when it came to new opportunities. I had to point it out to the agent that I was a contractor and that I was sure that contractors would not appreciate their rate expectations being leaked out to other contractors. Don't think they were embarrassed by the incident.
