            You are clearly a man of few words.

            Maybe adding some more would assist in your quest for an answer.

              I'm just interested in how you'd deal with a contractor you worked with who you had huge suspicions was there on the basis of a false cv. It's obvious when it happens.

                If he's permie, go to HR. If he's a fellow contractor, suck it up knowing you will get extra work to fix the ballsup he created.

                Oh... 'how to deal with a cowboy'.

                CALL IN THE INDIANS!
                Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                  But you have no idea how much I dislike conmen taking up opportunities in our market when so many honest people can't find work.

                    I wouldn't. It would make me a look a twat.

                    If a contractor can do the job he can do the job regardless of his CV. If he cannot do it he'll get found out. If he's not sure how to do it and is blagging it by learning on the job then that's the clients look out and if he's getting you or someone else to do the job then you/they are a mug and he's a damn site clever than you.

                    Those are all types I've worked with over the years and skills I've learned so that I can adapt over time.

                    Either way its none of your damn business unless you've hired him.

                    And BTW if you think you've been looked over for a 'cowboy' it means he can obviously talk the talk better the you can which is obvious by the crap information you provided on this thread.
