    When I was on the bench, I had an agent ring me to ask for the mobile number of a guy I know. He'd found him on LinkedIn because he'd been on a training course that I run and had mentioned my name on his profile.

    No question of whether I was interested in the role, just could I pass on his mobile number

    I already replied asking if she had already eliminated me from all consideration. I don't nominate myself in the 3rd person.

    I'm on the bench and would have applied for this role, and the impression I get from this numpty agent is that they don't want to consider me for the role. The cheek of it!

    This one time

    A agency placed me on a job in Norway, paid for the prime apartment, included daily allowance, complete with a killer rate.

    I never knew I had it so good until the contract came to and end.

    Lesson learned, don't stop until you've had enough.

    Best agency contact ever?


    Hi pmeswani,

    I hope you’re well.

    I’m getting in touch as I wondered if you could recommend anybodyto me for a contract IT/Information Security Analyst role at an InvestmentManagement clients of ours. The contract is for an initial 6 months, andis paying up to £400 per day.

    The requirement for the role is for someone with a combinedexperience of both Information and IT Security. A solid knowledge ofAntivirus, Firewalls, ISO27001, Remote Access etc. is essential, as is a backgroundin financial services.

    If you know anybody who might be suitable, I’d be very grateful ifyou could pass my details onto them.

    Many thanks and I look forward to hearing back.
