A call from a Bob Agent...

[cojak]

Link is still there.

How did he get your phone number? You should have done your homework first.

Really? Is it really still there? Have you clicked on it to prove it or does merely having an underscore there make it so?

Really?

Their quality in recruitment is about the same as their quality in IT design, delivery, and support. It seems they are swarming in on uncapped intra company transfer visas (they wouldnt qualify in such numbers for any other visas) in recruitment now as well as their established mass immigration in the IT business. No doubt many will bring in large familys, get free school places for their children, free operations for their seriously ill relatives on the NHS, big tax perks, and many will continue to go onto get indefinite leave to remain and British citizenship simply for being here a while. Lets see if the recruitment industry rolls over and allows it to happen without kicking up a fuss like the IT business has.

I'm working with a bunch of them in IT. Nice guys, getting shafted by low rates because they need to be resident here for 5 years to get their ILR status apparently, if they are not in employment they lose their work visa immediately.

They are shafted because their visa is only valid for one employer.

Nice superficially but the senior ones are racist, bullying, evil, corrupt and so on

They work for a big multinational (ie. Indian) company that subcontracts for UK companies. They get switched around client companies and squeezed on rate each switch with the ILR carrot being dangled in front of them.

Typical Management then.

So basically its a form of slavery which the Home office wishes to outlaw (see Ms May's article in the Sunday Times last Sunday). Start gathering examples and pass it on to them.

I do not really understand why more contractors do not report them to the borders agency. They are here to work on specific projects not to be shopped around like cheap contractors.

You lot all moan about them but none of you can be bothered to do anything about it.

You are not even prepared to name the company!

WHS. You cretins moan about "bobs", blaming the messenger, as it were, rather than the firms involved who turn a blind eye and encourage the breaking of the law for cheap labour.

I'm not aware of the visa requirements to bring people in on a work permit. It is general knowlege that Indian based companies try to get work outsourced and also advertise extremely low rates then use the lack of response to bring skilled workers in. I believe you have to be resident in the UK for 5 years continuous apart from holidays to go on to apply for indefinite leave to remain based on length of stay.
