The other side of fishing

[The Agents View]

Just got an email addressed to me as if I were an employee of ClientCo asking if I had any contract vaccancies.





Should I ask him for 2 references?
:O)

Seriously - Yes.

I've just supplied the mobile numbers of 6 senior referee's for a client I want to work with following a similar request.

If he can't do it, tell him to do one, and put him against your blacklisted agencies list for future reference......

If an agent is asking you for references, there is NO reason why they shouldn't be providing referee's for their own services...... well obviously unless they're rubbish

Also his passport and driving licence

What about his Birth and Marriage Certificates? May need to check the Death Certificate just in case the agent is not real.

And ID for all his prospective candidates and their references. It's 'company policy'.

In fact it's the law!
