Comments:
I worked with Lynn Radler, who was okay to work with. I've been on a long-term assignment that turned permanent and just was downsized in March. However, it could be difficult to get an extra dollar out of them, so stick to your guns about how much you want if possible, the downside is that they have the charge the client more to give you more. I may go back to them, now that I'm out of work, however, I haven't seen many nice things about them posted here. I guess I could say that I was lucky because the assignment I was on was long-term, so I didn't have the experience of working with some not-so-nice people.
