Your our natural resource

Have you ever noticed that most agencies speak volumes on their website about the recruitment services offered to their client? However, they regularly pay lip service to the needs of you, the jobseeker.

Here at sixandahalfpercent you are as important to us as the multi-national corporation looking for staff. In fact more so, as it is through your hard work that we earn our salary.

Open and honest recruitment services services

When your recruitment agency contacts you with a potential permanent position and quotes a day rate, have you ever wondered just how much they are earning for themselves? Quite often it can be as much as 50%, sometimes even more.

Do you think it is fair that you work away from home weeks at a time, often in poor conditions, while your agent makes the same as you?
Do you think it is fair that often the client puts up money for business flights and you get economy, the excess staying with your agent?
Do you think it is fair that your colleague doing exactly the same job as you is receiving a better day rate simply because the agent was struggling to recruit people at that time?

How many times has a recruitment agent called you to see if you are interested in a permanent position, yet is unable to provide you with any other details?

They want your CV to put forward yet cannot give you details on salary, location, rotation, duration nor provide a job specification. Do you think this is good service from a permanent recruitment company? Do you think this is fair to those of you looking for jobs?

Well, we don't think it's fair, either.

"Could we be any clearer"?
