M&E agencies practically begging.Ha.
Discussion
Had so many texts/emails/calls from agencies lately looking for staff,never known it to be like this before.
I have been polite in declining their offers of jumping ship for increased hourly rates but it has been good having them grovel.I have a 'permanent' job now anyway but did not want to burn any bridges as I am never one to get complacent.
I had a call this week at about 7.00pm asking if I was avalable for work.

I'm an electrical contractor, we struggled to get decent staff this year to keep up with all the work. I managed to employ two very, very good sparks and we got some fairly decent agency sparks (eventually). But we had to turn down and delay lots of work until September as it was just impossible to get decent staff to do the extra work!
Well if the work continues to pick up in our sector, then finding good quality labour will get harder. This been the results of the blinkered industry that don't seem to want to train apprentices.
As for agencies, I have always managed to avoid them and sub direct, however this seems to be getting harder as more companies only recruit through agencies.
