Ill take my chances anyhow and push for a higher rate with agency one. On further research Ive noticed that a few of the other agencies working on this are also advertising the higher rate. Looks like about 5 agencies have it.- danjericho

The second agent told me when I told him I was already at interview stage. He said they had the same job at £450 at 25% commission- danjericho

Switching Agencies
There are a lot of agencies working on the contract. Anyhow, just seeing what my options are and where I stand. I guess if (if) I get the job I can negotiate with the first agency to reduce their margin or I'll walk.- danjericho

Switching Agencies
I have an interview for a job lined up with an agency who have quoted me a daily rate. Another agency have just called me about the same job but they are quoting me a much higher daily rate. What are my options? If I get accepted for the job can I switch agencies or do I play hard ball with the...- danjericho

Recruitment Agents...
Not to be big headed, but I was a 100% match for the role. The role had been advertised at £xx but then the agent tried to back track and said, "Well actually they are only offering £x". As I went in at the high end of the budget they might not have put me over as obviously that reduces the...- danjericho

Thanks, but wasn't really the question I asked. I was wanting to know the ramifications of going direct.- danjericho

Recruitment Agents...
I have applied for a role, which Im pretty much a perfect match. The agent got in touch and I sent him my updated CV and gave him the go ahead to represent me for the role. I haven't heard anything from him since. Thats ok, you dont get every role you apply for, I appreciate that. However...- danjericho

Contract Terminated after I commenced work. Recruitment agency refusing to pay
Just to confirm. If I havent been specifically asked to sign a form so send an email confirming that I wish to opt-out before the contract was issued and signed, does this mean that I am ,by default, opted-in to agency regulations? Thanks- danjericho

All the work was carried out on my own equipment on my own development server. Over the four days of the contract they where very slow in getting me details for their servers, logins, svn details, although I made repeated requests every day for them but was fobbed off with excuses (email is...- danjericho

So you suggest I should just go ahead and send them the files? I dont think its a case of having code to sell. They contracted me to do the work.- danjericho

Contract Terminated after I commenced work. Recruitment agency refusing to pay
Ive already sent the invoices to the agency and CC'd the end client. Ive been on the phone numerous times to the agency. Cant get an answer from the end client on phone nor email... clearly avoiding me. The stance of the agency is no timesheet - no pay. One more thing I should add. Once it...- danjericho

Contract Terminated after I commenced work. Recruitment agency refusing to pay
The client unfortunately is the source of the problem. Any emails I send are simply ignored. They are a startup, and I get the feeling that they where never seriously committed to the contract when they signed. They either didnt have the funds, or never had the intention to pay the recruitment...- danjericho

I wasnt specifically asked to opt out, although its in the contract. Do they specifically need to ask me to opt out or can they just add it to the contract like this without asking me beforehand?- danjericho
