Agency referral bonus

[gables]

I've done it once and got paid once

It was a permie role, nonetheless a nice £100 Montane jacket for me

I referred an ex-colleague (after making my colleague aware I was doing it) once but they argued they already had his CV so wasn't a new referral. Spoke to my colleague later and the one they had was 4 years out of date. Can't win sometimes.

Yep I had the same. They obviously had not flagged this person up until I prompted them but they still argued they were not new because they had their CV. Same - old one as well.

Lunch with an agent. That's the kind of gift money can't buy.

Ha yes, my agent wanted to take me out on Tuesday, the day before I finished my contract. I cancelled 'cos i just couldnt face it!!
I know it was a free lunch and all, but even I have standards

I got a call once from an agency in the late 90s asking me for my payment details as they'd placed someone I'd recommended to them. £500.

I don't... Is the slot still open??

Funnily enough, I referred someone for a contract a little over 2 months ago (they promised to pay me the fee after 2 months).

Just emailed - will see what they say.

What are the odds you never hear from the pimp ever again?

I've been able to do so through my current agency without any issues. I guess it depends on the agency in question.

I recall years ago Reed offering £25 in Love2shop or whatever bollocks it was vouchers, and that was assuming the referred individual stayed on long enough.
