Not me phone and chase them, they voluntarily phoned me! I don't think that has happened before.
How bored must they be?
And when I did that, he phoned me to tell me that the client had changed the spec (last week) and that I wasn't suitable for this new spec.
he could have done the whole thing in one Phone call instead of two.
But then he wouldn't have got a CV with some new leads on it. Though quite how he thinks there are going to be any leads on it I can't understand. If any of the clients I have worked for over the past 10 years were currently recruiting I would be working there and not have been on the bench for three months!
