Wonder if they have threads like this:
"Best hair gel"
"Two reference wins"
"Shafted them on daily rate"
And maybe
"How to sound knowledgeable about IR35...and help you shaft them on daily rate."

Ah - I don't see this trend as I've culled agents from my contacts.Originally posted by PlanB View PostI'd love to know the true percentage of fake roles, I bet it is currently quite significant. Most are just honeypots for cvs so agents can harvest the contacts and pimp out to companies. Interestingly starting to see some agencies going bust on linkedin and sending out begging posts to other pimps. There has to be more agencies than roles at the minute let alone agents.
