That's an entirely rational position to take, as a recruiter I basically deal in information, obviously I'd prefer it to be free but I live in the real world.Originally posted by Jeebo72 View PostI've started asking for payment for such valuable information. Actually had one agent ply me with free drinks in return for loads of contacts inside an IB I worked for. That way we're both happy. Him not as much as me, when I started on the cognac...

PEOPLE just wake up and make these stories up. OP - grow up!Originally posted by rurffy View PostThis useless agency called me about a potential role that he might have in future-
I was like: Hmm right that’s interesting..
The guy(Agent) started asking me questions about my current gig and if I could provide a reference
now so they won’t need one in future when they put my CV for the “potential” future role
I am like: Sorry I can’t do that, when you have a role please give me a ring.
The stupid bastard hung-up on me…
Very annyong….
