Originally posted by SandyD View PostIf an agency tells me about the role first, they think of me and contact me first before other agencies , then I believe they deserve to be my sole agency for that role... they did the ground work, and found me suitable, and in any case you must not be submitted via several agencies... yes it maybe a trick to stop you applying through others against their candidates, but its a risk one needs to take, and frankly the second or third agency can also play this trick on you.
Just ask them to send you confirmation email that they have submitted you for the role.Comment

Agency tricks again. Had a couple of these lately, is this a new one?
Agent calls up about this great role, only problem is that it isn't live yet, no job reference, and all they have is a sample role description based on a similar one placed with the same client...
Give them the authorisation, keep the ball rolling, follow up, and in the meantime, try to target and reach said target a number of CVs per day that (you believe) go past the agent and to the end client.
Thereby, the game continues to be played and the options open.Comment
