Thanks, but then they'll say, "Just send us your CV directly" and it will go into the void.

Phone up their receptionist and ask to speak to someone regarding procurement.

Hi, I know a company that is probably hiring, but they won't deal with me, the contractor, directly. How do I find out what their PSL is so I can go through the best channel?
