Sent my CV off to an agency this afternoon, an apparently small independent I hadn't heard of before, about a position they'd advertised and got a call back a few minutes later. Quite a quite pleasant surprise as it turned out.
Why?, because for once amongst other things I was told the clients name without any hassle, didn't get scammed for references, was told the rate they were looking to pay rather than being asked 'how low will you go', and - something I haven't seen in a while - the agents actual phone number showed up on my mobile!
Occasionally it seems smaller can be better...at least in some ways.
So which do you guys (gals?) prefer dealing with, small independent agencies or the big guys such as...well you know the names.
