Oh dear - I can't stay quiet on this one. Pegasus is one of the most
supportive recruiters I have worked through - including Anna personally.
They are thoroughly professional and I would recommend them to anyone.
If anyone is to blame for this situation it is ourselves. We are too
divided and lazy to establish and enforce professional standards, we have
allowed incompetents to enter into the industry and 'juniorise' our role,
and we are failing to educate our clients effectively. We cannot expect
recruiters to do what we have failed to do - that is - educate the market
place.

Hello Donald,
My 13 year old daughter uses statements like your opener.
My problem, if it is mine, is that I would like a little more honesty
instead of
the gouging behaviour. In one recent job, I was told there was 6 weeks of
work and to quote a rate. I finished the work in 4 days. If I had known
that in
advance, I would have charged much higher. The agent should know the
quantum of work - the contractor usually gets dribbles of info before the
quotation is demanded. Very one-sided.
If the recruiter gets feedback like mine and chooses not to advertise,
aren't
we better off without such shonks?? If recruiters learn from such
feedback and choose to improve their service, aren't we better off??
Brian.

And your problem is?

If the recruiter gets feedback like this, they will simply stop posting
jobs on the list.
