      Are you a management consultant?

      You've just told me something I already knew!
      What happens in General, stays in General.
      You know what they say about assumptions!

            You've come to the right place then. Plenty of kindred spirits round these here parts!

              Are they regulated by anybody. I was approached about a contract role for a Finance Director and I know **** all about Finance. "Financial" was a word in my cv. But then again so is NPfIT.. aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              The majority of the ones I deal with are mid twenties graduates with probably NO WORK OR INDUSTRY experience.

                "I want to canvass opinion on this situation I have been presented with today.

                I have a contractor with a client - he has been there 6 months and I am making just under 100% margin on him - about £300 per day.

                My client loves him (albeit not in a gay way) and the contractor is very happy.

                The client has today made me an offer to take him on permanently and pay him £125,000 a year. He will pay my standard terms of 35% of basic, but the contractor says he will only consider it if I give him half the fee.

                If I refuse to facilitate the permanent placement, the client will give my contractor his notice - 5 days from today it will be over.

                If I make the placement, I will be lose the ongoing revenue and give away nearly £22k of the fee to the contractor.

                I'm fairly confident the contractor knows the terms I have with the client so I am thinking of offering him £10k and keeping £33,750 for myself.

                What would you do? "

                    A young chap rang me the other week from an agency, he's been in recruitment for 5 months and prior to that he had been an estate agent, now that's a proper apprenticeship...
