Don't forget too that not all roles come to the open market. Probably 90+% of my roles have never reached Jobserve or LinkedIn. Agencies contact me directly (as well as other contractors on their books) - very rarely in my skillset do agencies need to go CV farming and having to trawl through the 100s of crap ones.
I assume this is very similar in many other areas of IT. If so for your sector, then the way to get the best rates is to build some good relationships with a select few agencies.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
