    I've done projects for them here, always been treated respectfully, always got good rates, agents worked to get extensions, agent rang up or visited quite often and took us out for meals. Never really had a problem with them, maybe it's just Hays UK...

    I worked through them a few years ago - the client company puled the plug on the project and served notice to all the contractors. A few months later I got a call from the pimp asking how the contract was going. Not exactly switched on!

    Yes, we all had a chuckle when we saw the results, and then we realised NAT was up to his left nipple in cheap chardonnay, and the penny dropped.
    Hays: If you're unlucky, you may end up using them once.
    If you're crap, you may have to use them twice.

    Sadly I didn't get that particular memo. But Hays are basically sh!te. If they merged with Wipro, nobody would notice the difference.

    What does that matter. For 50 quid I'll make him sound like he's the best coder that ever lived.
