You will probably know those agencies always saying we will pay you £500 or whatever amount for a successful referral. Anyone here actually ever received such a referral payment? I never refer anyone as I'm 100% convinced they will never ever pay this, if there is a role and I know someone who might be available and suitable I just let that person know, but never the agency. Am I missing out on cash here?

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 Spoke to my colleague later and the one they had was 4 years out of date.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.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -

I always get an excuse and then they try to sweeten the blow by saying we will take you out for lunch/drink (to somewhere nice).Comment

I was asked to refer someone for a role I rejected once and was promised £250 on signing of the contracts.
Obviously, it didn't materialise (cause agents lie !). Hassled the f**k out of them for six months and eventually got £250 in Virgin vouchers (when they still had shops).
As my old granny used to say, it's not the principle, it's the money.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
