Good recruitment agencies for contractors to deal with

mrbubbles

Hi guys,

I've just moved over to Ireland and I'd like to continue doing contract web development work.

I worked as a web developer for various brand/marketing/web agencies in the UK for a number of years and this is how I made most of my contacts. However, in a new city it's obviously quite hard to get your foot in the door so I thought that perhaps a recruitment agency would be a good idea... at least at first.

Can anyone in a similar situation (i.e. contracting in a similar field) recommend any reputable ones that I should get in touch with?

Many thanks

I'm an IT contractor myself, best agencies that I have dealt with are CPL and Brightwater, they pay the going rates and always have a lot of roles on their books. Also you always get paid on time with these two which unfortunately I cannot say about some of the smaller agencies. Harvey Nash are good too but I only contracted with them for a short period.

Thank you very much for replying, really appreciate it. Great to have some feedback based on others' experiences.
