Do you need a contractor to sort that out for you?

Most of the roles I'm seeing have either ridiculously low rates or wildly imaginative tech specs, when are HR people going to understand that an MCSE is not a prerequisite for a helpdesk monkey job FFS!

Also register with as many agencies as possible. They do in most cases maintain their own databases.
