Have I offended these agencies by saying I'm giving people a spring clean?

Question

I registered with 3 agencies about 6+ months ago and still I have yet to hear about any work from them, even though I've kept ringing them. I emailed them to say I was having a late spring clean of my business contacts and said that if they hadn't any work for me, then let me know so I can go elsewhere

Answer 1

6 months is a long time for an agency to not offer work - even unsuitable work - sounds like you are well rid of them personally.

They will not be offended anyway, if they can't realise the only way they make money is to provide candidates with work, they will be used to people "spring cleaning"

Answer 2

And you would suffer how? If they are offended they may not offer you any more work, which would mean no difference.  

Answer 3

Whats the point of being with an agency if they cannot provide work for you? There is no valid reason. If they feel offended that's their problem but as a customer you have the right to choose who you want to go to in terms of finding work etc. If they have not got in touch with you then its their problem not yours. Ignore them and do what you want to do.

Answer 4

What I think you need to remember is that Agencies earn money from getting you work so its would only be a suffering to them if they were offended by your comments.

PLus as I said they earn money from you so it amy be that the agency has no work placements which is why your not getting any work.

Try a different agency

Answer 5

I would assume that they have no work for you as you haven't been offered any, and would find work elsewhere.

so i dont think you could of offended them.

Answer 6

I think it is the normal course of business and the systems of agencies and brokers to only imform their clinets when there are works for them. Why not call on them personally for updates.

Answer 7

If you wanted to get rid of contacts, you did the right thing.

If you wanted more work, you did the wrong thing.
