I can't understand why HR are involved with contractors at all - after all they are supposed to be looking after their permie staff, not third party suppliers.
It should be supply chain rep - preferably someone who knows the client to EB contract inside out by the time your interview comes up. Problem is, that these large corporations see one man band limited as perma temps not bidding companies.
I get sent for job where I used to work - had an informal chat with big cheese - job's a good un. Goes to see HR man to sort out rates, he asks me "why do you want to come back as a permie?"
"Didn't the agency explain that this was a permanent role?"
Full morning and half a day's pay wasted
been there done that, half way through interview HR lady starts talking about 'pensions and benefits' etc...

Went to an interview for a gig. Pimp gave me the wrong postcode so my Sat-Nav landed me in the right place but 2.5 miles away. Needing to be there at 10.00am, as it said on the pimp's email, I turned up 20 mins late profusely apologising to be told the interviewer had arranged to see me at 11:00am!
