Laughed at this

[socialworker]

In an email from an agent today:

"As always we are paying £250 for each successful referral and also if you find your own job and wish me to represent you we pay you £250 too. "

If I found my own job would I seriously be looking for an agent to take a cut .......... I suppose there is the guarantee of payment but I can't think of any other reason.

Reasons to let tame agents feed:

1 They will pay faster.
2 They handle factoring
3 If you can get a few other guys in then you can take a cut of their rates too, and the agent will handle that on most occasions.

I believe that a few London boroughs have had issues paying their cheques over the years...

They get to the end of the financial year and just say sorry we are out of cash...
