Agency
I was working with this agency that will remain nameless, but essentially they were a cross between events organisers and HR. They'd just lost their events manager and a friend of mine had just been made redundant in the same line of work. I asked if I could put her forward and they told me that if she worked out, I'd be looking at a £500 finder's fee. So she went for an interview, she got the job and three months later she'd passed her probationary period. I called up the company to arrange collection of my fee. Turns out the person I'd been dealing with had left, and hadn't made any notes on the file about me at all. So I got in touch with her and asked very nicely if she wouldn't mind calling them up and reminding them about our arrangement. She denied all knowledge of the finder's fee, despite the fact that she was the one who told me I'd be "rolling in it". To make matters worse, word got back to my friend who'd now been working there three months and she was made to feel very unwelcome - she left a month later.

So, essentially, personnel agencies are fucking cunts.

Reed found me my current job, which is a great role.
So not all cunts.
