May I suggest that when an agency you don't know and didn't contact calls you about a contract, you stall for a day? At least some of the agencies that you have worked with before will call you soon enough.

What's the flippin' point in them doing this, unless they demand up-front fees, which I don't think is legal anyway?

I suppose the only marginal advantage might be to build up a network of direct contractor contacts, to avoid the modest (?) advertising fees on sites like Jobserve (and to avoid publicising contracts for other agencies to filch).

Since I changed my status to searchable on Jobserve and CWJobs a couple of weeks ago, I've had a few of these "thanks for sending us your c.v." emails out of the blue from people I've never heard of.

I got one of those today too - also having sent nothing to agencies for years. I just ignored it, like most things I don't understand.

Anybody heard of Greythorn?

Got an email from them earlier, the usual blurb. Thanks for sending us your CV we've updated you iProfile...

I've never sent them a CV since I don't use agencies and haven't done for years. I thought I had long managed to ditch iProfile for the bag of tulipe it is so deleted it yet again.

Does anybody actually use iProfile?
