Is there such a thing as an honest recruitment agency?
I found this to be very very true, quickly. Initially, I was sending in a lot of applications and waiting for my phone to ring. It didnt take long to figure out that contract roles go very very quickly and agents simply wont read CVs, but will talk to people following up immediately with a...- kh64

Is there such a thing as an honest recruitment agency?
I've been slowly re-learning after 6 years in a perm role what agents are like. I really think it's an inherent gene to be dishonest and lie at every opportunity for 99% of agents. For candidates, it's about learning and boxing clever and being extremely careful who you part information with...- kh64

I just need to get two references ...
+2 for Nigel Frank - total timewasters and borderline harassment. I've probably received a call a day for the last 2 months from these clowns. Just kids that are desperate to punt low level Microsoft consultant (AX) roles. If you've got AX anywhere on your CV, do yourself a favour and...- kh64

Travel question
Because it's not a US company. I've been to the US 30 odd times before and neither I or the company have had to complete anything more than an ESTA.- kh64

Travel question
Its a UK company, the role is based in the UK, I'm a Brit with a British passport. H1B only applies to US companies employing people outside of the US, no? I've only ever needed an ESTA in the past to visit the US for work purposes (and that includes US companies).- kh64

Travel question
To clarify, the interview, base and company are all UK based. The role requires regular travel to the US. Fly in, fly out on a regular basis.- kh64

Travel question
Quick question on travel - I've got an interview for a gig next week that requires a lot of travel to the States. I'm new to contracting, so was just wondering what the "norm" is for travelling long distances - is it "the norm" to travel in my own time or to book any time spent travelling on my...- kh64

Hello all
Cheers. I have a good list of contacts built up over my 20 years, but it's all perm. I've been trying to go direct to companies via LI and direct postings on the likes on Indeed, but its like cutting my nose off to spite my face. I talked to one agency guy this morning about a very good senior...- kh64
