    Still wouldn't touch it with a barge pole though lol..
    A cretin I worked with a few years ago did that, and every so often I get emails from people that work for the agency. I wouldn't go anywhere near them, but on the plus side if he's doing that then at least he won't be marketing himself as a "senior principle hybird CRM consultant" any more.

    The downside could be the end to the lucrative contracts I used to get cleaning up after him.

    That's the company the website is registered to. The company related to this is..

    JUST CONTRACTORS LTD Free and instant access to Director and Shareholder details. Credit Reports online instantly.

    Not easy to find bearing in mind they don't mention this at all on the website which I believe breaks some rules and that privacy policy looks a tad, erm, well, light on detail..

    Wonder how many of those gigs are real lol...

    Had a look at their Website. The "About Us" page doesn't really say much about them. I always wonder about a business is that reluctant to show who "us" is.

    started a topic New Agency?

    New Agency?

    Found this website: justcontractors dot co dot uk

    "created by contractors for contractors and clients", bringing over 50 years of combined expertise in delivering Projects & Programmes.

    Our experience in delivery means that having been there and done it, and done it successfully, we really do understand both our clients' needs and our contractors competencies & skills. We don't just use words like Projects Management, Change Management, Organisational Design, Business Analysis, Saas or ERP. We actually know what it means and feels like to deliver, how to plan and the nuances from different sectors and different technology platforms too.

    Our experience allows us to ensure only the right people, get placed into the right roles. We are that confident that you will only see and recruit the right people that we offer a no questions money back guarantee on our margin.


    On the FAQ page:

    Q. Does Just Contractors also help in finding Permanent jobs?
    A. We are really sorry, but specialise in supporting Limited Company Contractors only. If you would like us to we can refer your details to some other, known organisations that may be able to help you. Just let us know.


    But then on the search page it asks what salary you are looking for which says to me they don't really know contracting. You would think they would be willing to put their names to the website but they stay anonymous.

    Has anyone actually registered with them?
