AGENCIES? ANY GOOD?

[Danny G]

Hi guys/gals,

A guy from a recruitment agency , specialising in construction, has been passed my number off a client I have done work for, and offered me 8 weeks work on a sore for REDROW, on the Chester area, I'm from Liverpool, I can move my planned domestic jobs to weekends and get a friend to pick some up,
I've never experienced working for an agency before, what's you guys/gals experiences? Cheers Danny G

I never worked through an agency, but not heard much good about them

I hate the thought of some fat fcuker in an office making money from my sweat,and then maybe hard to get the few pound.

agencies are good but you are on a wage that is not great... but if you have time and at a lose end then fair enough

 

[theclemo]

[zolco]

To be fair I've never known an agency worker to bust their balls, normally they just plod on.

Btw around my way you would get 13 -15 an hour plastering through an agency

They are the pimps of the building trade.

Saw an advert recently for agency spreads in Cambridge £18 per hour and actual on site parking which didn't sound all that desperate.
Works probably s**t though be rubbing down ames all day looking like a ghost or something.
