My company is an international IT Sevices and Solutions Provider. We are looking for IT Freelancers to fill positions that we have in Zurich. Please send me your CV or contact me for more information if you are an IT Freelancer looking for work in Zurich. We have a number of positions to fill and get new ones evey day.

I look foward to hearing from you.

So how come you don't put details of your company in your profile?

Sounds like an agent on a fishing trip to me.

Cheers,
Nick

Thanks for posting. I am such a freelancer in Zürich.
If you don't want to post on the forum, you can PM me details of your company and the sort of IT positions needing filling. If relevant and I am interested I will revert.

Please PM me. I'm an IT professional in SAP, and I'm desperit to find work. IF you can get me more than 400chf a day, that'd be grate.

Am I being slow tonight? I searched LinkedIn but I didn't see any springing out as being similar- maybe I failed the intelligence test?

bill_door, help me...

Not here to slow anybody down. Just a friendly reminder
that any information you provide is done so at your own
risk. The English Forum carries no responsibility for what
happens to your personal information that you forward.

Simple disclaimer.

So where are the rules that this forum is only for people living in Switzerland or for those who have any link with Switzerland. Can anyone just post here ad hoc?

OTOH, this could be her. And this could be her company (FDM Group, Germany?).

believe me, I am sitting on my thumbs

That the job positions are supposedly in CH, will let this pass... for the
time being.

Still, the OP is supposedly in Frankfurt but supposedly surfing from the
UK. Again, send your personal info at your own risk!

Tim has done his homework.

Just my 2 cents.
Maybe is she...

there is only one in germany. her profile indicates she is in Frankfurt.

from the linkedin profile, and both her threads here I reckon FDM.

Correctly stated.

I've worked as an IT contractor for many years and am extremely wary of agents.

Their most common trick is to advertise non-existent contracts, they get people sending in CVs and - surprise surprise - will only approach the client once the contractor has supplied references. What they want is the references so they can try to generate leads from your old clients.

The other one is they scan job pages of companies such as UBS for permie job ads, and then call you about a "contract with a large financial institution" as if somehow they have a contact with a PM within the organisation.

The fact that the individual here gives very sketchy details indeed only serves to raise my suspicion.

My advice:
- Only supply references once you have had an interview with a client and they want to take the process further
- Never tell an agent about places where you have already placed your CV
- Never allow your CV to go forward before you know the name of the client
- In the present climate, try to get a credit check done on the agency (you don't want them to go bankrupt when you have an unpaid invoice)

Agencies who kick up a fuss over any one of the above normally have something to hide and are to be avoided.

Cheers,
Nick

can anyone do an IP check to see if she is where she says?

Done. See my post earlier - about supposedly surfing from the UK.

As suspected I haven't heard anything...
...and she hasn't posted any reply to the forum posts.

hopefully you didn't give out your information or you may be overwhelmed by viagra and similar trash in your inbox, telephone, mailbox (not that people use this method now-a-days).
