When once asked for references I gave them the contact details of my previous 2 recruiting agents - strangely they never followed up my leadsComment

I was asked for 2 referees last week after being told about a contract in Bournmouth that I told them I wasn't interested in. That was Computer People.

Dont see any reason not to give references , if your leaving a contract and expect to go back at a later date then maybe its not in your interest to do so , but I have never worked for the same client twice so its no problem for me.Comment

Giving leads to agents only encourages them.Comment
