    SThree doing well !!

    Thats better a bit of back bone. For your infomation, my most recent contracts have been through sthree and I do not view them as negatively as others seem to on this site. Nethertheless your post was suspiciously positive.

    SThree doing well !!

    Who-am-i..I'll tell you who you are, your a relatively new recruitment consultant from an Sthree company. This has to go down as one of the worst attempts at an agent pretending to be a contractor I have ever come across. The language you use in your tidious posts suggests a stronger affiliation...

    Would You Trust an Agent Who Doesn't Reveal His Markup?

    It depends on whether the first agency has forwarded your CV to the client. If they have then you should really stick with them, otherwise it can get messy with duplicate CVs going to the client.

    So what exactly do they mean

    This is ware I get confused. From my experience I have always gone via an EB for my contracts, I have used the same individual agent 3 times. Now he maintains that he has direct dealings with the manager hence he can 'sell' me to them. Thus he does provide some worth rather than just sending my...

    So what exactly do they mean

    A valid point it is the agents job to educate the client when they take a job spec. A PSL or sh#t agent will just take where their given as a spec which may be a few lines. The agents that are any good will get flexibilty with their spec, it is their job to make the gig as filable as possible...

    Weekend Work

    When I was last working in York, I had time and a half saturday, double time sunday. If your with NU though, they don't normally have weekend work in contracts, thus you'll have to negotiate
