if they want you that bad stick yer rate up by 25% then he can take it or leave it but only if you think you will still go for it if they offer the gig, otherwise, just be firm and say you are not interested this time maybe another time.

If he's got half a brain, he's sent your cv already to stop it coming in via another agent or at least getting a cut if it does.

He'll probably make his own mind if you don't call anyway. No need to stoop to their methods.

Make him taste his own medicine.
15No, be a man and honour your word.60.00%9Yes, let the weasel taste his own medicine.0.00%0AndyW will call the agent and snatch the role from me.40.00%6A dilemma for you experts to weigh in on.
Today I was called by an agent wanting me to take on a role I can do technically without any problems. Problem is that I am not looking to start a new contract after the present one ends in october. And the new role is in a place I have already contracted in and the town is not nice and it will be a weekly commute so I will not see the family during the week.
All in all I intend to not take the role but I he was very eager to send my CV to the client ( I sent CV to him also for future reference in case I need it). I asked him to stall the sending of the CV. He told me I was a very good candidate and the only candidate he has.
We agreed that I contact him on Monday before lunch to tell him to send the CV to the end client or to not send it.
Now comes the dilemma: should I behave like a true professional and a man of my word and email him monday morning telling him to not send the CV or do I let him taste his own medicine and I stay silent and uncontactable during next week?
