Agency choices

[FatLazyContractor]

Steria.

Never delayed/missed a payment.

Flexible with Opt in/out.

HTH

[psychocandy]

Hmm, they are the ones I've heard bad things about from others. 30 day payment terms with 30 days in arrears, poor contracts for IR35 etc.

It is 30 days but they pay ontime. Quick to sort stuff out.
Had worse agencies had better.

[psychocandy]

what do you expect from PC. Steria are also a consultancy rather than an agency so its just a sideline for them.

I reckon the others are all much of a muchness so find contact numbers from clientco and ask them if they do weekly billing....

Jeez. I only say their ok and still you've got to have a dig. Surely you must have something better to do.

[flipFlop]

New client have [sic] asked me to pick an agency to work through with them. Choices below. Anyone have any opinions on any of them?

LA International.
Certes Computing.
Sopra Steria,
Carbon 60.
Methods.

I don't have an opinion on any of them.

[SueEllen]

Worked via LA International for 18 months, had no problems with them.

I got bullsh*t from them about opt-in/opt-out.

[northernladuk]

I'm through methods at the moment and they seem pretty slick. No standard agency BS, free choice to option in/out, plenty of support at the beginning of the gig. I haven't been paid yet as I'm still within the 30 days so can't comment but I'm happy with them so far.

[Murder1]

Never contracted through them but only heard good things about LA International from people I've worked with

[PinguMK]

Stay away from LA International, I know many who have been hassled by them. Although looking at your list, it looks like you are in the security cleared arena. PM me and I can offer advice if you need as I also work in SC/DV sectors.

Long contract and renewal through Certes and had no problems at all, I'd happily recommend them. Billing was (in this case) invoice Monday - in the bank Friday, though YMMV
