    Campion Wilcocks 'Associate' - posh word for "a name on their database"?

    Any views on Campion Wilcocks chaps/chappettes?

    Is it worth a meeting ("interview") with their Client Director? And are you tied into them any more than a regular agency? Whats the difference?

    I'd be very surprised if it's more than salesman spin.

    Odds are they will attempt to "market" you to clients at the same time they use the information mined from you at the meeting about past clients to punt at new leads you inadvertantly gave them.

    I avoid meeting agents unless it's a meeting to discuss final contract terms and the agent is buying lunch.

      ah, well.. they can have as much made up information about previous jobs as they like if they are paying for lunch.

            Did you ask for a copy of the receipt? If so.... I think your consultant title is well founded.
            If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.
