    Recruitment agencies (who do you use?)

    Hi all (first post!)

    I'm wondering which recruitment agencies people use here for contracting?

    I'm specifically looking for good design-focused agencies as I've been contracting for only a few months as I'm a web designer and developer, and am curious to which other agencies you lot use?

    Ta all!

          spot on, whoever is advertising the job and gets me the contract.

          Thats the sort of thing Secretarys do, sign up to Office angels who then find them work at which ever office requires them that week, contracting does not realy work like that

            You use all recruitment agencies? You don't have a few specific ones who cater for your skillset or job position you want?

              Indeed, same here.

              The concept of "signing up to one or a couple of agencies" is ludicrous.

              Over the years I've probably sent CV's to over a hundred agencies while chasing roles.
