iXceed Solutions and/or MindTree

You mean to insure against agency failing to pay? That would only cover roughly two weeks worth of work.. so might be worth it if I can get 7days/weekly invoicing..

Anyone ever dealt with iXceed Solutions?
Got through to a second round of interviews with the end client - potentially lucrative contract using skills I want to work with. However iXceed are the recruitment agency, who are placing for a consultancy, who are then placing for end client.

iXceed appear to have a London Office, but although landlines are 020 number, all the cells are Indian (+91) - all contact from them have come from India so far.

Consultancy (MindTree) appears to be an outsourcing bodyshop... again, UK offices but India based. Had no contact with them so far.

Client is a good UK company.

The chain of companies through India makes me little nervous - so looking at weekly invoices & 7 days payment terms, and not opting out. Previously I've been happy on monthly/20 days and had no problem working with a great agency.

Am I being too careful? Or not enough? Anything else I can do to prepare myself against agency shenanigans?

ta..

PCG+ Membership would be a good start.
