I hear ya, mate. Avoid them at all costs. They cost you big $$$ as well,
since they pay you (or your company), and pocket the difference, which
can be $10 or $15/hr above what you are getting paid. You are paying
through the nose for their George St high-rise offices, golf afternoons
and champagne tastes.
Always go the extra mile and use the 'net and other media to find jobs.
There are enough resources out there to find a job on your own without
the help of the parasites.
