Reply to: Good and Bad recruit companies

Do the recruiter have a published payment schedule? Did you submit your timesheets in accordace with it? (If applicable) did your umbrella company submit the invoice on time? There are lots of reasons why this might have happened. My advice would be to speak to the recruiter and find out WHY it happened, then you can concentrate on preventing it from happening again!

Maximum for who? Is that what your contract states?

Yes, within 30 day they have to pay me.

The worst Recruit is VECTOR (UK), be careful as they are completely unprofessional.

It's not so much the companies, but maybe down to the individual you end up dealing with there. I've had both good AND bad service from the same agency..

My own experience has taught me never to believe 100% what I'm being told, the last opportunity I had (and I'm not going to name the agency) ended up a complete waste of time for both myself and the client. Was told it was a 6 month gig plus extensions, when I got to the interview I checked this with the client and it turns out it was less than 4 months with no extensions.

After what was a very unrewarding interview they didn't even have the decency to call me back when I raised my concerns about it all. In the end I just gave up and moved on from it and used it as a bit business experience (know for next time).
