Reply to: Agent - Employer relationship question.

The average agent has the morals of a moral-less flea attached to the back of a moral-less sewer rat that is humping a moral-less hippo.

Inclined to agree. You think you're doing the right thing, but the agent will just think "haha! he gave me free money! What a stupid Knud!" and never respect you again.

It seems we finally have proof that SAS is a HR minion!

Since this is a permie role wouldn't this all be handled by some HR minion once you'd picked your choice of office eye candy?

Morally I guess I have to.

'Tis a slippery slope if you start getting moralistic about these issues. Where do you draw the line? Are you actively protesting about the sham invasion of Iraq?

As someone else mentioned, if you feel bad about it and really think the money should go somewhere, please give it to some charity or some homeless person

....not to "people" (deliberate quotes) that would sell your granny down the river if they could only work out which address to send the men in black.

Is this "bring your spaz brain to CUK with you" today or something??

Do you have a contract with the agency for supplying CVs?

If so, then it'll be in there.
If not, then you're free to do what you like.

Surely this isn't difficult??

Morally I guess I have to. And practically if they find out they could probably sue me.

As they used to say in Sevilla

'Honour and Money do not belong in the same purse.'

the agency didnt deliver. They provided a wavering , hormonal imbal, that changes her mind at the drop of a hat.
The agent has moved on to a new job. The agency has gone bust.
If you feel guilty, put some money into the charity box and move on.

I believe this process is referred to as selection by erection.

HTH

Easy.

You tell the silly bitch to sort herself out and clear off.

Just feed the agency a fake job. Et Voila, T&Cs in your inbox in a jiffy.

nah wouldn't do that. I do have some morals.
May pay them anyway, no skin off my back, and everyone needs to live.

Hmmm I guess I need to somehow get the contract from a year ago ...

That happened to me once. Actually they decided they did not want me then realised they had made a mistake. Agent never got a thing and the gap was 6 months, the agent found out later and never did a thing about it.

Morally, maybe. But WGAS about morals these days?

Legally, what do your engagement terms with the agency say? I doubt very much they have any hold over you a year after the fact...
