[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 444312, member: 6546"] Lisa-- I wondered (after reading your first post) about the interview that tried to by-pass the temp agency in the first place... Having worked on the "business side" of a temporary agency - I can tell you it's very common for companies to try and get around the temp agencies fees. Sometimes companies think that if they orginally contract for temps, and then decide they just want to do a direct-hire....that then the placement fees do not apply...or that they get some kind of a discount. I'd bet that's what happened here. Company thought they could do an end-run around the temp agency. Tell them that "O well, we decided just to hire directly instead of doing the 6 months temp arrangement first, so...." And when they discovered that they were going to have to pay full price for your husband either way ? That probably made them balk. And his age may even have come up in the argument. As in "Well, it's not like we're gonna get 30 years outta this guy...." I'm so sorry, Lisa... [/QUOTE]
