1. Agreed !!!Originally posted by ViktorThis thing tells a lot about the "serious business" of some agencies...FFS with all the crappy and dodgy agencies around, how can they manage to get clients? The points are:
1. The clients or HR departments are idiots
2. The client doesn't bother. Who cares if we pay 50% commission...?
3. Cheap contractors are the main market for those cowboys and each agency like this one will disappear from the market in 2 years time...
2. Yep!!! - sad but true !!!
3. Fingers crossed !!!
