Does anyone know the best way to find contracts direct, bypassing agents? I know that it's about building a rep and contacts but are there any other ways? For example, if an agent calls and tells you that company X is hiring and would I be interested, is it clever to say no and then to approach Company X directly? Surely company X benefits.

Many companies won't deal directly with pscs, so your only option is the agent. Even when you have a direct intro you may end up going through an agent for payroll purposes. -
Twice in recent years I have found a contract direct, and both times the client has inserted an agent. So sometimes it just doesn't make much difference.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment
