    If you voted for Computer People as best Agency please explain why

    There appears to be puzzlement as how they could have won this, if you voted for them please enlighten the rest of us as to why they are the best.
    This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernames

    Not me...one of the worst agencies ever worked through
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Where was this vote?

        I certainly wouldn't have voted for them if I'd seen it.

          Actually thinking about it some more...CP were bad - but even in their worst moments I never came close to physical violence like I did when at Alexander Mann Solutions

            uh oh...what about A Mann, they've just been on the blower to me to work at a place where they are sole suppliers. So far impeccably professional and well prepared. Far more than any other agency I've come across. Slightly worried about the red tape and blaaaaah....but I don't disagree with any of it (yet)

              I wonder how much they paid to be awarded the title?

                I had no real issues with Alex Mann, bit officious maybe.

                  I have a spreadsheet of all agency contact going back many years.

                  Computer People holds the record for having had more gig applications from me than any other agency.

                  Computer People holds the record for most applications / emails / calls from me despite never getting any response from them of any sort ever since at least August 1995. It is one of the few which has:

                  Last contact from agent: [ null ]

                  against it.

                  I have never worked with anyone I knew to be through Computer People.

                  I have never known Computer People to be on the PSL of any client I have been at.


                  I do not believe Computer People is a real agency. It is a cover for the Chinese Secret Services in much the same way as James Bond worked for Universal Import/Export Ltd.

                    CP are by far the worst agency I've ever come across in over two decades of contracting. Somebody got a backhander then? Or the voting system such as it is is flawed.

                    Either way the same total tulipe every year.
