true, and unfair on the ones who do a good job.....

however you also said "most" were like that, in a previous post - so not surprised most who have experienced recruitment "consultants" (dont make me laugh - most recruitment consultants i have dealt with are aged about 25 and stright out of uni, sharing a rented house with 3 others and on the lash every second night, so what exactly can they "consult" on?!) feel that its the majority! harsh, but fair!

glad to hear you're one of the good guys!
