There a few decent people that know what they are talking about but mostly they are a load of rubbish. unsuitable jobs wrong skills ect ect ect This is just my opinion tho if anyone does know a decent agency I would be very interested. I have found Eden Scott to be quite helpful in the past - certainly my current *nix role is through them!

I would evaluate the agency as much as the job when applying. Remember - if they can't get the connecting employer to contractor bit right, would you trust them to get the paying the contractor bit correct as well?
