I'd be interested to see their definition of IT because my experience is
vastly different.


I've told this before, but I'll do it again

I think it was someone else you told because I don't remember it.

It almost certainly wasn't on this group, but there is overspill from people
on the most likely group, so I was CMA

During a casual discussion with the MD when I said something like "those
two
grads of yours seem to be getting on well" he replied with "yes", "and you
know the odd thing was, every single one of the applicants that we
received
'looked like them'"

This was in rural Hants.

Job agencies can be very selective over who they put forward for a number
of
reasons and not just to fit the clients criteria.

This was a new graduate recruitment

I don't think they went near an agency

Advert on the jobs board in the local unis the most likely route (I assume
that sort of thing still exists)

Funnily enough many years ago
I was apparently put forward for a job only to be told by the agency my
experience didn't match the requirements so no interview. Another egency
put me
forward for the same job and not only did I get an interview, I got the
job
too. Clearly the 1st agent was lying through his teeth. Other people I
know in
IT have had similar experiences with agencies over the years.

Me to, both sides of the fence

but as above, not applicable in this case
