So three agencies advertising the role or a very similar role? That's not unusual.

Have you contacted the other agency (the 30% one)? What have they said? Is it the same one.

If you've not agreed exclusivity, then you're not. That said the end client may have already seen your rate.

Offering? Or quoting a rate of? Big difference.

Exclusivity to agency at application time

Hi

I was put forward for a job in another EU country, and as i did some research on salaries, tax etc, i found another agency advertising the same role for 30% more. The other part is that 2 agencies got involved in putting me forward, one in India, one in London, so both get a cut.

As far as my obligation to them, i confirmed my day rate to them via email to put me forward at, and that is all, nothing about exclusivity.

I since contacted them, and they insisted it was another role, but i dont believe them. I got another phone call from another agency with the same details offering me £100/day more after as well.

What's the best course of action?
