I represent a company called Hireonomy and we are a specialist IT Contractor only recruitment agency. We are part of a bigger group.
We offer, we believe, the lowest advertised rates in the country - 7% mark up on day rate. We're completely open, honest and up front to both our clients and Contractors about our rate and the day rate requirement of the Contractor.
Interested in the terminology used on here too...pimps and there was another one I saw but I cant remember what it was...
