Why do agencies need to be so tight lipped, devious and cretinous (sorry Dodgy not you you're lovely)
Agency rings and asks me if they can put my CV forward for gig A. Won't tell me who it's with, or precisely where, but I know it's in West Yorkshire. Day rate is fine, work sounds ok. Sure, go for it.
Next agency rings and asks if they can put me forward for gig B. Won't tell me who it's with, or precisely where, bit I know it's in West Yorkshire. Date rate is fine, work sounds ok. I highlight I've already been put forward for a similar sounding gig in West Yorkshire. I am told to rest assured they're not the same gig. Still won't tell me who it's for, just that it's a well known legal practice.
Then the first agency rings me this morning to tell me that HR at ClientCo have tossed my CV as they have had it multiple times from at least 3 other agencies.
How? One other I can possibly account for. Jeez.
Just rusty I guess as I haven't been on the bench for 20 months, and was hopelessy naive, should have got a full job spec from both and insisted on knowing all of the details.
But 3 other agencies? Sersiously? This means my CV is getting tossed in without my knowing, which seems like lunacy.
