    I would have enough trouble trying out both simultaneously myself, let alone setting it up for a third party.

    Unless you can you supply 2 references, in which case game on!

    Not to worry sas, perhaps in future, posters could mark their offerings in such a way that this particular limitation of yours might not spoil your enjoyment.

    I think it is a new brilliant idea they have had. When I was looking to go permie (list of valid excuses on request) one pimp was talking about a gig which ticked all the boxes - then he casually dropped in that it paid 10K less than he originally said - I mean WTF?

    I also had an interview (with their appointed agent) for a US SaaS software house who are trying to set up an implementation group here - they told me the sal range and asked what I wanted - told 'em the max of course. Then the pimp phiones to say the max budget is actually 20k less.

    I dunno if they think we're going to say "Oh fair enough" or something, but both are now on my ignore list - the first pimp even had the cheek to ring me last week.

    I do know that they have wasted a shed load of my time and theirs for no gain - and the SaaS job remains unfilled because I know two other people they tried to pull the exact same stunt with and who have also turned them down - one after being given a written offer. It is a crap business model as far as I can see to spend ages on the phone, email and writing letters only to hack everyone off and not make any cash.
