Fecking agents really do think they own us....

15 April 2013, 20:36

Go this in my LinedIn inbox...

Hi XXX,

I trust you’re well.

I came across your profile whilst doing some generic searching on here and was keen to briefly introduce myself.

I realise you may not being looking for work at present and I’m not pitching any opportunities but was keen to strike up some communication for the future. Currently I head up our London Java division here at Monarch and am keen to stay on your radar if you ever did need advice or assistance.

I also own a group of London Java professionals, enabling networking and technological discussion (the link is on my front page) - do feel free to join.

Thanks
YYY

Set him straight...

Hey YYY,

Surely it's illegal in this day and age to own a group of Java professionals, even as an Agent? Set them free... or at least cut them in on a slice of your action for god's sake; they're human beings!

As for myself I am available for contract opportunities from the 18th May - Senior Java type stuff in c. London / Surrey area if you have anything like that on your books around then.

And if we do get an opportunity to work together, I can assure you, I will be reviewing the contract very carefully for "ownership" type terms.

Have a great evening and don't forget to feed the Java Profs.

Best wishes,
XXX

FWIW I've worked through Monarch several times, and they're one of the better agencies.
