    Agents could save themselves and us a lot of time by not trying to recruit at stupid rates. Considering the time (and therefore cash) that agents I know have spent trying to fill unfillable gigs recently it'd be cheaper for them to pay the difference in rate ! Any decent agent ought to tell the client when what they are offering isn't sensible.
    The really frustrating thing was I began the negotiation about rate with "they won't pay what I want them to pay". I then ummed and ahhed about whether to bother applying for the role, as it's not exactly what I want to be doing, decided to do it, and then was WAY too expensive for their completely unrealistic budget.

    So, in the meantime (and they've been looking for at least 2 years now), they're paying a contractor to act as an interim manager. Worst bit is I was up for that role when it started, but went elsewhere instead!
