Ipso facto, I'm far cleverer than you.Comment

As is often the case, agents get a lot of people applying for roles.
Availability is one of the many things that can knock you down the pecking order of getting your CV submitted.
You might be the best candidate by miles, but that is not as important to the agent. Filling the position as soon as possible is. They may be worried the clientco pulls the role or another agent on the PSL fills the role, or a number of other things.
Getting their man on site is THE most important thing, for them, followed by fleecing you (and the client) on rate.Last edited by jmo21; 28 November 2012, 13:37.Comment

Originally posted by Gibbon View PostLook, if you're not good enough that clients won't wait for you that is not my problem.
Again that's irrelevant though. You are simply denying that some contracts require bums on seats quickly.Comment
