    Q? - Can a agent make use of client co's HR reference(my previous client co HR wont directly hire - they use PSL)?. If my CV is not selected, I'd want to tell this guy - 'i've advised my client co HR to blacklist your agency 'cause you phish' or something to that effect.

    Usually when an agent has a real role and sees my CV as a perfect fit I know because they give off the impression that they would drive round to my house to get me to commit.

    If your CV is selected to be submitted to Client you will be required to supply us with ...
    . I also got job specs and 'rate yourself 1 to 5' tulip.

    Wonder whats the next wobbly!

    Ask them to name the client, if they cant do that then they are not serious.
