My name is Kennedy and I am represented by Kenvak. I am not the biggest fan of recruiters. A recruiter is hired and paid by a company to find people to fill that role. My rep Brian is paid by me and he works for me.
I work as a day rate IT contractor. A recruitment agent matches candidates with roles, and takes X% on top of what the company pays me. Not a million miles away from what you describe.

Why not?
My specific target niche is First Nation organizations and small businesses in Northern Alberta, Canada. I would prefer to be represented by someone who understands the unique needs of my customers. However, I do see value in your service for someone who works with multiple niches.

You are correct, we are not a great fit for everyone. We take pride in getting to know both who we represent and the clients.

Not in the UK, at least. I work as a day rate IT contractor. A recruitment agent matches candidates with roles, and takes X% on top of what the company pays me. Not a million miles away from what you describe.
