Dum, de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, dum dum da daaaaa ....
What a complete and utter bunch of brokeback mountaineers, they have gone straight to the top of my "agencies to steer well clear of" list.
Finished a contract week before last, taking a few weeks out to prepare for the CCIE lab I got scheduled start of May and just started putting my CV out. Getting plenty of phone calls, at decent rates ... then there are Computer People ...
So far I've had about 6 different phone calls from their agents all over the country offering me jobs in God knows what kind of forsaken hell holes, depite being very clear to them that I'm looking in London only. One lady even told me that I couldn't be choosy this time of year when I said I wasn't interested in working in Leeds - this despite me getting more interest than a good looking hooker overlooking a prime window in Amsterdam atm.
The one guy from London who has contacted me rattled off four different Banks he was going to arrange interviews for me with, so me being nice said fine you can represent me and duly turned down another agent later who had a confirmed interview with one of them since I don't like crossing my wires - this was last Thursday and I still haven't heard back from him since first contact.
Kn0bs of the first order.

Oh, did I mention they also insist on IR35 contracts only it appears ...
