After my last experience yes I would. I ask the agency for a list of brolly's now before interview.

I will never ever work for them again.
I had my pay Processed by Parasol and they have made a right bodge job of it and subsequently I have terminated there service which in my opinion is not there, As an Engineer who travels you would think they could keep to HMRC's tax dates but no they rather tax you twice and then have the cheek to say you can claim it back at then end of the tax year....
