Agency Branch

[Eirikur]

Newbie on this forum, contracting for the last 9 years. UK and abroad.
Think the forum looks good and gives good advice, but what I'm missing is an agency branch, I see their are some threads around about agencies, but I think it would be a good idea to have them all sitting in one area, where we can report about good and dodgy agencies, their dirty tricks, how to deal with them and other experiences.
What do others think?

Thanks for the idea but I wouldn't say we need it to be honest. There is a sticky about agents needing references which people can have a go in and we get the odd post about what they do. It would just end up in an agent bashing exercise that doesn't help anyone.

There are certain agencies that I considder to be dodgy, but others have had good experiences with them. Or one agent in a company is (relatively) honest but the bloke sitting next to him is a tosser. Think it would just degenerate into a bunfight
