They believe the client when they say the role is not with any other agent. Sweet really

It just means they really want you. I'd wait a couple more emails

I guess the answer to the question in the topic line is "Yes", but as long as the feeling is mutual we are all happy. Right?

Given that they keep 20% of the money for having done 2% of the work, I expect they do.

well, we must be as the market has changed significantly in the 20 or so years i've been working and no one (including me) has been able to do anything about it.

but I am trying.

I use linked-in, networks, internet etc and the LAST thing I will do is put a job out to market.

Is that how society should work in your eyes, you get paid only based on how much work you do, or how hard you work? So miners get paid more than CEOs, etc?

I was answering the question "Do agents thing we're all complete idiots?". I was not answering the question "In your eyes, how should society work?"
