Computer Futures

[OnceStonedRose]

In my experiences with computer futures, I may as well just give them a list of all names; email addresses; home/work/golf club telephone numbers of previous managers/directors I've had dealings with.

Sounded like they were about to cry when I told the chap that I would provide references to any potential client upon them firmly stating they were interested in dealing with my Co...

Never seen any firm post as many non existent contracts/positions.

Where about in the north west are you?

Chester but contract anywhere around NW really

Positive in that, shortly after putting the phone down, I had a bloody good laugh.

If you do engage with them make sure the salesman ...err... consultant holds a current rod licence from the Environment Agency. They'll want a much higher level of disclosure from you.

Long time, no see. Get over to TPD and tell us how life is treating you!

Their contracts usually need adjusting to be more IR35 friendly, but dealing with them and getting paid I never had any issues

They got me my first contract which was a goodun'. But that particular agent left a couple of years later. I've had bad experiences with them also. Now I would engage with them, cautiously.

Big player on the Manchester recruitment scene but never had an interview from them. Prefer Spring and a couple of others when based up there. Allan at Recital is a great guy - proper account manager type recruiter rather than sales drone; takes you out for lunch to thank you for renewing, etc.

Yeah, I'm north west so that's probably why I see a lot of them.

I'll look out for Recital, thanks.

I've had a couple from CF who give the full sales spiel and then disappear. Proper time wasters

They got me an interview for a permie role a few years ago... Seemed OK.

Has anybody had a positive experience with them?

I've heard plenty of stories about fake job postings for CV farming and also that they're bad payers with long payment terms.

I've never had an interview from them but they advertise a lot, like take up 50% on any search results. I automatically discount anything from them but wondering should I...

Just thinking surely there must be someone out there who has actually been placed by them....?
