I got a call " Hi, this is Steve from Agency X, got the perfect role for you, need two references to prescreen you first etc."
Funnily enough I'd been talking to a fellow contractor about the 2 references a couple of days before, so I gave him my mate's number.
Pimp calls my mate " Hi this is Steve from Agency Y, I understand you need some contractors asap etc."
Meanwhile, I'd emailed my mate to warn him it was coming, He replied to pimp " Sorry Steve, I've just signed an agreement with Agency X to find me 150 contractors for a new project"
Stunned silence from pimp.

Cool story bro

Awesome. It's quicker to tell them that you'll give them two references when you've been offered a contract, as per the data usage and protection policy of your limited company.
