      This is perfectly normal and accepted practice.

      Just supply the details they ask for. If you want to help he further and be proactive then send them details of anyone you know in IT that is in a hiring position.

          Hays IT

          Had a contract through HAYES IT this time last year. 10 of us started around the same time, the 3 of us from HAYES IT were asked to supply references, before interview, we had all independently refused, and had supplied them after a job offer. The other 7 contractors, through various other agencies, were never asked by there agents at any stage to provide any references.

          Draw your own conclusions.

          I've had so many calls scamming for managers numbers over the years, I think the top 3 agent scammers chart current looks like this:-

          at number 3

          Hoxley Assoc.

          at number 2

          Fomputer Cutures

          at for the 754th week in a row it's at number 1 it's......

          Agressive

          What is your top 3?
