There's a great three part series[1][2] (well, parts one and two are great) at the Kernel magazine on recruiters as well as an expose on the top recruiting scams[3].

Ah, S3 group. The recruitment agency that for some reason feels it necessary to trade under more than twenty different brand names. One of the contractor bulletin boards in the UK puts up a list of the current ones every now and again IIRC. Purely as a public service to their readers you understand.

To spare curious readers some time here it is: http://forums.contractoruk.com/general/58258-sthree-group-in...

S3 are looked upon with disdain even by those WITHIN the recruitment industry. They are mind-blowingly terrible.

Spotted that. Todays post was an updated version of a very old blog post I wrote a year ago. The Kernel inspired me to get back to what I love doing which is exposing the industry for the giant cesspitt it is.
