Reply to: Prosperity4 adverts

[John Galt]

Knew I'd find this thread if I looked hard enough. Mrs Galt insisted I take her up to London at the weekend shopping and there were ads for P4 all over the bloody place!! Anyway to get to the point......I recommended a mate of mine to the umbrella company I use and suggested he look them up. He found an ad on one of the contractor sites for them but guess where the link led - yep, you've got it - to P4. Are these clowns really that desperate?

[Mordac]

Don't know anything about them other than what I have read on here, but WRT referal fees, what's your issue with that? Lots of other companies have referral fees, including agents who are looking for good candidates.

That wasn't the point, I was merely offering a suggestion as to why they get referred by agencies. It's not because P4 are any good (they're not), it's because they were on a kickback.

[Tramline]

Au contraire. They offer backhanders (sorry, referral fees) to agents, so you probably wouldn't be surprised how many agents recommend them rather highly.

"atleast i have common sense", i dont have the "the"

ha, beat fleetwood to it

[chef]

is it me or are there a lot of hostile new people around today that havent even taken the time to read (and chuckle) at the general feeling on the board before spouting their views?

mad123, what do you honestly think you'll get in return on a contractors forum trying to defend a suspect outfit like prosperity who in the past have, from what i understand, "upset" or possibly misled a numbers of contractors in joining under the promise of increased riches?

and ozzie over in General forum is obviously on a wind up..

i know im not a veteran in this game myself but atleast i have the common sense..

just my 2p..

Yes I have only made 2 posts, yes it is the first time I've been on your site but...
they do not give referral fee's, I ask every time I refer people through,
Will someone else just call them and ask what referral fee's they give to agencies. Yes they used to in the past, They are the only co. I know that don't.

Maybe if you called and asked, instead of calling them "w@n*ers" you would know that.

I didn't. Feel free to go back and check.

Please let me know how much they give, Guarantee I wont hear back from you.

I seem to remember it was £50. I wasn't paying all that much attention to be honest.

I know they were bad in the past, but has anyone had a bad experience in the last 6 months?

Only those who opted to claim expenses without getting/keeping receipts.

My friend, I have done some work (mail server migration, office move etc) for an agency and I have personally seen the emails they send out. Unfortunately they get deleted, otherwise I would happily post the text on here.

if you spoke the truth it would be ok. they do not now offer anything to agents, and have not for some time. i take referral fees from other companies, but still refer my contractors to them also as they generally offer a good service

How interesting...

mad123 with 2 posts to his name, both of them defending P4.

Is he an 'expert' or does he use house bricks? (Vasectomies my @rse... )....

There rubbish, posts on hear detail court action people are taking against them. The sounded very slimmy when I spoke to them.

If you want a laugh, the P4 site has a link where you can have an online chat with an accountant (top right corner of site). I did have a chat but the took offence to me when I called them 'w*nkers'

It's all a matter of context.

In this forum community, being called a ****** is a huge compliment, particularly when directed at recruiters who try so hard to add value on our behalf and offer us a stunning service.

[BillHicksRIP]

Utter crap. Just do a search on this board for countless negative personal opinions from contractors. Wouldn't touch them with yours...
