i think my current agent is taking just over 4% based on a Preferred status with the client...
I know this because the perms told me what the total cost to the company was per day.

Is this correct, regardless of the role and rate!??!
Please advise,
Depends on:
1) Are you just being payrolled via Capita (ie the client and you arranged the deal and gave you to Capita to payroll) -if so 6% is a little high
2) If Capita found you on behalf of the client instructing them with a vacancy, 6% is pretty low but not unheard of. They may have reduced their margin in order to secure the deal if the client would not move on rates.

Ermm anyway - enitrely possible with a solid PSL agreement. My current agency is running on 4%
One thing to bear in mind though is never choose a role or agent by their margin.
Which is better a role that pays the agent £600 and they get to keep 25% or one which pays the agent £4000 and they get to keep 4%???
The rate you want is always the correct way to judge a contract and its value not the amount the agent can squirrel away!
