I’m not precious, I’ll spill the beans to anybody after a contract offer, maybe even after telephone interview but never on first call with an agency who I had no prior contact with.

I was asked for 2 references before being put forward for a role so have ignored all contact since then.

I got a gig out of accepting a request from an agent I did not previsouly know so I accept all agent requests if they recruit in my area.

I don't post anything, just ensure CV matches profile.

with rented flats on your own you have to pay council tax, heating, water etc so it eats into the daily rate and increases the hassle. Unless it's through AirBnb or similiar?

I've used SpareRoom...

Have only had 1 and it was a fishing for names meeting by 2 agency staff. I can understand why they do it but I would only go again if I was on the bench.

This is also the trigger for me receiving these emails. Can't pinpoint which one as I upload to a few at the same time. They probably crawl through all of them though.

If I had a war chest to rely on and years of gigs behind me I would do this, but I'm only a couple of contracts in so unfortunately I'm going to go with the opt-out contract, pending review.

I went for an interview, got offered the role. I then got an email asking me to opt out. I said I would not like to opt-out.
I was then told that the agency does not deal with contractors who opt-in...
