Cynanto!!!! its actually free

[DodgyAgent]

Nice, will give it a bash. Worth a go to break into direct work.

Not that all at MyCo don't love you, Dodgy

And lots of agents are smart enough to employ decent totty. Apart from that and being paid what more can a contractor want?

It wont catch on.

The 'direct' days - with 90 day payment periods - are still a fresh wound in my memory.

Can I suggest that what you really need is a bank loan, not an agency?
Same cash up front; a much smaller margin; and they don't try and force their tempy bum-on-seat business model on you.

Might have a go for interest's sake - but to be honest, as much as I hate agents sometimes, they save us a lot of hassle (When you find good ones, like the agents I'm dealing with now).

yayyyyy....registered.

Unfortunately I had to use my work email address and there's no way to change it on this site so when my contract finishes thats the end!...lol

ah sorry peeps didnt realise you had to register as associate first, either way its still free, anyone ever had any contact through this?

[TheFaQQer]

I clicked the link and just found an ordinary request to register. Do you have to be an associate first?
Or have I missed the 1000 limit?

Nope - I've just done it.

You need to register, then get your details on there so that your account is live. Then as soon as you do that, you can upgrade using the code.

I've only just put the current gig on there, but will flesh it out when I get chance. But it accepted the upgrade to professional account a few seconds ago.

Kathy,

i clicked this url and its like a ticker running underneath the header of the site.. if not, here is the discount code:

CYN92618

[Orbit]

I recently signed up to this too. If nothing else it helps to put my contracts outside IR35 by advertising the services of my company. Something that firing my CV off to agencies doesn't do. See point 9 on the IR35 criteria list at http://www.djcolom.co.uk/ir35.html

If I get approached by a client about a gig along the way then happy days!!

Hi All,

just having a browse on the Cynanto website and they are offering full membership ( apparently worth £300) for free, just click the scrolling toolbar, says places are limited to first 1000.

Then it gives you a discount code.

I just upgraded my basic membership for nothing for the year.

And no i dont work for Cynanto!!

I figured its worth a try, especially if its free, cos they must be mad if they think id pay £300!
