Agents asking to fill in profile sheets?

[Liability]

Since when have agents started email back candidates to fill in profile sheets? This is something new - no doubt to save money hiring admins?

Sod that for a game of kabadi!

You see! We mock agents for knowing nothing about file permissions or scalar references, but there's a whole world of BS in agency land we're totally ignorant of.

Well don't tell me to just Google.
Google says these are profile sheets:

but I am none the wiser why an agent would need one, unless he works from a tin office.

I take it that is the "so how long have you used a keyboard for? 2 years? can I put down 3? the client might want 3, I will put down 3, and you have used a monitor for? 2 years?"

They get told to GTF.

Basically - there are generally 2 attachments - one asking for summary of your skills and a few questions and another that is more admin and personal details. All of which are on the CV?!?!

Its happened twice this week from diff agencies.

Seen a few of these over the years, generally just ignore them and if another agency has the contract advertised apply though them instead

But that said, having seen quite a few of the "contractor CVs'" on the market recently, majority being poorly written load of old permie tosh cannot blame them for trying to get "contractors" to "translate" their CV's
