My client has introduced extra vetting duties which are carried out by the agent. It includes statements if you've had time between contracts. Can't wait for the agency to tell me one of my applicants is refusing to supply them

The agent in question suggested that the client may accept a statement given to him (the agent) that I was still paid as a director of Myco Ltd during the break. You do know the difference between backing down and compromising ?
If you want, I'll give you the agent's name and number and you can ask him if he considered it to be a case of me backing down.Last edited by TestMangler; 4 July 2018, 21:54.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

If you have multiple bank accounts, cant you just choose which one to give them? i.e. one you dont use much, just for small purchases. That way the agency can just tick it offComment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostI would say that if you started by telling the agent to “go F*** themselves” as you put it, and then you completely changed your tune to, “sure, speak to my accountant”, that’s a massive compromise where you’ve totally backed down from your “absolutely no way will I ever” to “OK, maybe not that but how about something else”. You had to completely back down from your hardline position. What exactly did the agency compromise? They still got a satisfactory answer to the requirement and no longer had you swearing at them.

At risk of stating the blindingly obvious, you are an owner of a business providing a professional business service for a price. If you're a contractor your CV should make clear that you're Owner and Director of xyz ltd from date yyyy to the present time, therefore no gap on CV.Comment
