Anyone know anything about agency or client black listing?
There is no such thing as an Agency Black list - If there is the glimmer of them getting commission they would get you in like a shot!

PS - This is general
It depends on the size of the agency and whether they consider their role as more than just finding a body. I know a couple of agents who won't touch some contractors, based on their past performance and reputation. But those agencies are more niche providers who have a bit more of a reputation to protect.
One of those used to get a CV from someone I know every week for a different role, and they went straight into the shredder because of her reputation.

I wonder if an agent could chip in here. I know you are reading this.
They'll tell you the same.
No agent would forgo commission unless they are very niche, as DD said.

Its a sales organisation. They'd literally flog dead horses to a stupid enough client. Thinking abput it, given the aptitude and attention span of some agents I've dealt with they probably would believe the dead horse was a good match for a role too.
