"Recruitment consultant reduces fees by 33% in a gimmicy way to get free advertising" shocker!

It's a one way bet for them. Recruiters usually receive the first three months salary in fees, so this chap is just cutting his take slightly. Also no one is going to quit a job in this recession unless it's really tulipe, so he will get all his money.

Pls contractors readying that could be thinking, "Blimey, he must have a few gigs going if demand is that high" and he can top up his CV database and references list nicely as a result.

- Where?
