Bearing in mind being an agent is little more than being a salesman I can't see why you think it would be any different across professions.

I've given recommendations to agents on more than one occasion. I don't recall any 'introduction fees' coming my way though.

New twist on agent pain

Got a call this evening from my current agent , she's not a bad kid really, asking if I knew any prospective contract social workers as in her office they are getting stick from management for not signing up enough new people.

Does the same thing ie agents trawling for workers happen in IT Land ?
