Originally posted by DodgyAgentIf you are going there direct and the agency have not been involved I cannot see there being a problem.
An agent has organised an interview with a client. I've attended the interview. The client wishes to work on an agreed fixed price per piece of work basis. How do I square this with the agent who wishes to organise an hourly rate contract?
Also, if in the future I'm offered fixed price work am I still beholden to the agent and have to chuck him a bung?

Who is to say that you got this role some time later from cold calling companies and marketing yourself. The fact that it is at a client where an agency once pitched your services could just be a coincidence. If the agency introducttion was a couple of months down the line and the clint contacted you, then I would say it is fair to leave the agency out of the deal.

If it is for the same position that the agency introduced you to the client for I doubt there is ever an "expiry date" unless there was a specificlly agreed ones between agency/client and agency/contractor, which i would highly doubt any agency in their right mind would agree to.
If it's for a different position things can get a little murky (if client contacted you direct)
But as to your objections, delays of "months" rarely have anything to do with the agency, look to the client and be wary as this "history" should tell you a lot about them.

Who did you sign a contract with?
How do you know whether or not the agent has been doing anything during those X months?

Presumably there is a contract between the agency and the client for a specific period. Does anybody know how long that period usually is?
