My thoughts are...

Ad goes up on Jobswerve.

Contractor rings agency.

Agency ALWAYS says the contractor is going forward to Client.

All CV's go to agency account manager for selection safe in the knowledge that the agency has blocked the unwanted CVs.

Just had a call from an chirpy chappie, who apparently rang me before Christmas about the possibility of a role coming up in Jan.

He was eager to get me in for an interview - however I'd had an interview with them last week - through another agency. They called me Wed, I was interviewed Fri.
Cheekie Chappie was not too happy - don't you remember me, we had a long chat about blah blah on the phone. I dimly recall a brief conversation, but i have so many agencies promising me 'loads of roles' coming up, I simply do not keep track of them.

Also I've been called by 3 other agencies about this role over the last week, so he's not exactly quick is he?
He seemed very crestfallen - poor lamb

Works both ways Pogle. What would have happened if HE had not put you forward but told you he had, you would have then told the other 3 agencies not to bother.

Poor lamb my a*se. You did well Pogle. Keep it up.

I get the same, and they seem put out big time when I get the role though someone else and try and claim they are the sole agency on the psl.
