Fecking agents really do think they own us....

Go this in my LinedIn inbox...

Hi XXX,

I trust you’re well.

I came across your profile whilst doing some generic searching on here and was keen to briefly introduce myself.

I realise you may not being looking for work at present and I’m not pitching any opportunities but was keen to strike up some communication for the future. Currently I head up our London Java division here at Monarch and am keen to stay on your radar if you ever did need advice or assistance.

I also own a group of London Java professionals, enabling networking and technological discussion (the link is on my front page) - do feel free to join.

Thanks
YYY

Set him straight...

Hey YYY,

Surely it's illegal in this day and age to own a group of Java professionals, even as an Agent? Set them free... or at least cut them in on a slice of your action for god's sake; they're human beings!

As for myself I am available for contract opportunities from the 18th May - Senior Java type stuff in c. London / Surrey area if you have anything like that on your books around then.

And if we do get an opportunity to work together, I can assure you, I will be reviewing the contract very carefully for "ownership" type terms.

Have a great evening and don't forget to feed the Java Profs.

Best wishes,
XXX

FWIW I've worked through Monarch several times, and they're one of the better agencies.

Luckily DA will have lost the receipt.
