Simple

At the end of the day it is very simple.

All IT contractors have had at least one experience of working with a good IT agent.

All you need to do is build a relationship with that agent and the ideal scenario is that you never need to use another as they will keep you working for years.

You give them a heads up on roles internally and your intentions career wise, and he gives you a heads up on rates, the market situation and other opportunities.

Good Rate

If you do this then you will always get a good rate, always get a good job, always keep abreast of the market and the best moves for you, and instead of spending your life feeling bitter about being "ripped off" by an agency, you can enjoy your massive day rates to the full.

In terms of agents not being able to do anything else, this may well be true at the run of the mill high street agencies - but if contractors had any sense they would be using a smaller niche agency anyway.

Could be a Contractor
