Bypassing a Recruitment Agent after receiving a job offer?
Discussion
I recevied a verbal offer today for a contract job I was interviewed for last week. They interviewed 6 people who all came from different recruitment agencies.
The guy who interviewed me is one of my LinkedIn contacts.
I would like to deal with him directly rather than going through the agency. The reason being that I will get a better deal financially and so will he. Is there any problem (legal?) or otherwise in cotacting the company and trying to deal with them directly given that the agency sent me for the inteview etc?
They are a large multi national so maybe they only deal with agencies?
The upshot is that the role I was interviewed for is a different role than what I went for and much more senior and I would need more money as a result. I have been told that they are finding it hard to fill the job also.
