So it's not an interview for YOU, as stated initially, but for your OH?

Or that you've had to have your OH read things to you?

Has anyone dealt with them before?

But this is correct, although you are going for an interview with company 'X', however, it's the agency 'GCS' that will be responsible for paying you. When you send your time sheet to the agency at the end of the week or month, they'll be the ones to pay you. Company 'X' pays them the money, and they pay you. Hope this is clear.

Cue post on whether the client, the agency or the umbrella is the employer, or whether they all are....
