General Trend
My question is if this part of a general trend or was the agent calls just a freak spike ? Are you all noticing a pick up in demand?

I normally find that when I receive this many calls in an evening that it's the Inland Revenue checking me out for an audit.Originally posted by Naaarwich View PostRecently agents have been phoning me up about urgent roles (only one or two have been fishing expeditions). Even last Friday afternoon I received 7 phone calls from agents about roles and the rates have been good as well.
Has the news about HSBC and RBS profits got other companies all excited and they all have decided to recruit?
I am not used to this - usually I have to ring them and be told that the agent is 'away from his desk' or in a meeting.
Probably nothing to worry about though.
