Hi Tom, I had this done before when contracting to the tax office. I had
similar concerns but it turned out to be legitimate. Good luck!

Understood, thanks. I do tend to live my own box, particularly during covid
in the last 18 months as I live in Victoria.

You need to network more. It is not uncommon for our customers to ask us if
we know a dev, pm etc and I refer on people I know.
Also get out to user groups ... Companies often stick their hand up at them
saying they're hiring.

I do start with the job boards. Seek and Linked in first. Most companies
these days put their own ad up and then recruiters come along and put the
same ad up with their name on it. Sometimes you see 4 or 5 ads for the same
job. Quite annoying. And the majority of recruiter jobs otherwise probably
If not recruiters, where do you start looking for work? Personally I’ve
found it very difficult to find work but obviously many factors are
involved.

I'm pretty sick of recruiters. They are a dime a dozen. I think at one
stage about 20% of my linked list was recruiters. My thinking was that I
might need them one day. But I have culled them significantly, down to a
few
Hey Tony,
Tom’s original question was about the recruiter asking for this info which
is quite different from the bank you’re working for. Financial institutions
do ask for the things you mention but I’d be suspicious and hesitant to
pass info like that to a silly old recruiter.
I’ve never been
Really? At the bank I have had sign over a right for them to receive every
contact note for any shares I buy or sell. I also have to submit requests
to buy or sell shares. That's an Apra requirement. I'm also not allowed to
have directorships in more than one company, and it has to be an approved
Personally, I'd decline given the circumstances you've described. It would
be like asking for this information from an employee and inappropriate if
not probably illegal in the context of an FTE.

Yes as an individual contractor so I did find it very odd. I’ve asked for a

If you're doing this as an individual contractor on a work for hire /
hourly basis then this is pretty strange.
Even as a company, we almost always decline disclosure of financial
information on the basis that we're privately held and send whoever is
asking a letter of solvency from our tax
Hmm. It does seem a bit odd, but they might be concerned about fraud if
you're handling significant financial transactions.
I work for a bank and they never asked me for that.
But if I was asked, I'd probably supply it if I wanted the job. Depends on
who they are I guess.

Hi folks
For the experienced contractors here who may know...
I am in the process of starting a new contract and the recruitment agent
has requested access to my credit file (via WorkPro). Is this normal? I’ve
only had one contract in the past and the credit check was not done AFAIK.
