      Don't do the mistake of sending your CV across.

      They will either:
      - remove your name from your CV, put an Indian (ILR / Bob) developer's name on it and submit it to the client. (or)
      - Submit your CV at your requested rate + £200/day and have a good moan with the client that they are struggling to find someone local for a decent rate => Another Bob on the dole.

      Well known scam.

        Another agency very much like Silverlink is Avance.

        Same thing totally un-understandable Indians calling from rural India and it looks like a London number is calling you. Mostly Wipro and Tata (TCS) for £200 or less per day. When you say for example my rate is £550 per day they still think they can convince you in accepting £200 pd

          Silverlink for Wipro for IBM.

          That could only be better if they included Hays somewhere in the chain as well.

            Yeah I know! Though I was at IBM with Hays and they were fine.

            Woman is calling me every hour now despite me telling her I was in meetings all afternoon (which was a lie, TBF).

              I disconnect the call as soon as I hear the words like silverlink, infoplus, smartedge solutions, black apple, avance consulting.
              They are absolute time wasters.
              I suspect they are all owned by the same company

                  That's very difficult as they keep phoning from a different number. I now don't answer calls from Silverlink1,2,3,4 .

                      If so, I wouldn't expect a brilliant rate
