      What do agencies do that really get your goat?

      Conversely, what do they do well?

      Basically, a thread to vent on!

      Why do you want to know?

      And I think that I'll move this to General as I'm suspious as to the 'who' as well...

                    I thought this was a thread about the CIA hiding listening devices in teddies.

                      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.
                      Personally, I couldn't give a crap what your cut is. It is nothing to do with me.

                      It would just be nice to deal with an agent who understands what I do, and what the client needs.


                      PS. Hireonomy is a stupid name.
                      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
