    I'm sure that's true, in the same way contractors are all self-serving, overpaid, arrogant, greedy and too dysfunctional to cope with a chain of command.

    Try stepping outside the bubble once in a while

    Just 3
    if things don't work out with them then i'll carefully pick 3 more. Taking special care to make sure that they are professionally accredited and specialise in the correct industry and tech sectors

    and then you woke up?

    Permanents agents are nicer than contract ones. All relative of course.
