      No. In the same way that you won't tell me all your potential clients, I'm sure you'll respect my ethics when I tell you that it's not something that I disclose to other agencies.

        Then he starts talking about them having a "virtual bench" - they pre-vet the contractors, put them on their list, that's where they will check first etc. etc. Advantage to the contractor is that you get a better shot as these are the people that we promote more....

          Hmmmm - sounds interesting, methinks. If it exists, of course.

              So, what do I have to do to get on this list?

                All I have to do is to provide a reference from my last two clients.....

                  Well, the last one would be the agency because it's under an NDA.

                  Oh, and so would the one before that.

                  Oh, the one before that - I can't remember the name of the client, but if you contact the agency, I'm sure that they will tell you.

                    So, he said he'd send me some more information about the scheme and how it works, etc.

                      Here, verbatim (apart from the name change), is what I received:

                      Hi TF thank you for your time earlier.

                      As per conversation please forward me your reference contact detail in order to place you on our Virtual Bench.
                      That's it - including the lack of punctuation after the name at the top.
