I was sent a email late this afternoon by a recruitment company asking how interested I am in a contract they are trying to fulfil.
This could be interesting.

They only want to put you in the exact job your in for the commision. I had a rather frank discussion with some twat who thought that my 14 years experience, might not be what the Company was looking for and a post Grad. would be more suitable, I managed to find out who the company was and applied directly and got the position. He refused to even put my CV forward.

The commission. That's their primary revenue stream. But at the same time, if they don't put good candidates forward to companies who they work with, that company will use someone else.

Doing hands on grant work for the programme I used to lead on. There are several advantages to applying; I know the job inside out and could do it standing on my head, it's nine months guaranteed work until next June whereas I'm only contracted until this September at the moment (although it could be extended / become permanent), the pay's better than I'm currently on... but... do I really want to swim in the same river twice?
I'll probably apply anyway because of the longer job security attached to it, but the prospect of working for a group who's madder ideas I had to veto on a regular basis is a bit, I don't know...
