    iKas International vs McGregor Boyall

    I have the option of applying for a role (good match) through iKas International or McGregor Boyall.

    Does anyone have any experience with any of these two agencies?

    Not sure which one to go ahead with,

    Which one is going to give you the best day rate and an IR35 friendly contract?

      TBH, I have no idea. I will speak to each of them though before sending in the application.

      Just wanted to get some feedback from members on here if they have any experience with these agencies.

        usually at the point where you say an agency can represent you for the role, you are a long way from having an actual contract to review

        i was placed with iKas years ago for a perm role, no problems with them but no idea if it's the same as a contractor

          I know one of the agents at McGregor Boyall. She's great, got invited on drinks even though I wasn't with them at the time.

          Certainly a more established name in the IB contracting circuit.

            Go for the one that is most likely going to get your CV in front of the client

                  iKas are crap. All my applications to their (possibly fake) adverts have not gone any further. Numbers on their adverts are answered by somebody else who hasn't posted them and the concerned person is either not at his/her desk or gone out or not available or in a meeting or on some call or untraceable. Personally, I would advise to stay away from them.
