    It would come as a shock to us all but PC could be right - OP mentioned that he'd done FTC in the past. If he mentioned it to agent and agent has the second-best candidate, then he could reasonably undercut the other candidate/agent with an FTC placement. If he mentioned it to the client and client mentioned it to the agent, agent could recommend to the client that it will be cheaper and easier for them for a short term fixed gig with no extensions expected to go down the FTC route.
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

      OK. Granted they'd probably rather their cut out of a contract but if they set up a FTC surely they get something out of the deal. Like when an agency sorts a perm role.
