    Mind you, I suppose if you really lacked morals you'd be working in recruitment.
    you missed the bit about them being cheap!

    Any firm based in Gibraltar or Malta is a red flag.

    A relative used to work for one of the big firms, the level of cynicism and double dealing was worthy of Vegas at times.

    Anyone who consistently won was cut off, those losing and they kept tempting you like Christ in the dessert

    It's a compelling thought when you think that you can essentially spend your entire months wages without even leaving your home these days.
