      Saying after the interview "They are very interested in you for the role, but another interviewee has cut their rate and they are now looking at him unless you can cut yours?"

          No problem, happy to.

          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...

            parasite in the loop

            It is a mystery to me how come parasites are so vital here in UK. Employment agents... real estate agents... It seems almost a custom to keep a parasite in the loop.

                You can always find your own clients without an agent. I usually do.

                    All we have is the word of someone who confesses to be from a 'profession' of compulsive liars.

                      you're right unfortunately. The recruitment industry has a bad reputation, and has to do a lot of work to make it better.

                      I've been fortunate/unfortunate (delete as appropriate) to work in both the Recruitment and Mortgage industry... glutton for punishment
