    Fair-trade recruitment agency

    Hey... this is a business idea for DA....

    how about presenting yourself as a fair-trade recruitment agencies with principles like:

    * we don't exploit contractors and throw them in the bin as their contract is not renewed or they are not taken at the interview
    * we don't take lucrative margins off the contractor's back
    * we are transparent with our business practices and our contractors are fully aware of their margins and so
    * we don't take cold calls
    * we don't allure contractors to fake jobs just to get leads....

    etc. etc..

    How does it sound?
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

        Doubleplusgood

        I would add to that list all our contractors are subject to weekly drug tests, that would be very popluar with the US financials operating in London, for those who dont know drug testing for Candidates is very popular in the US.

        Also our contractors are fully Endtimes Rapture Compliant will be another selling point for US companies.
