Hi there,
A few weeks ago I applied direct to a large bank/funds/IFSC type company. I applied direct on their website. The job was for a 6 month contract. While I hope to become permanent one day I saw it as a "foot in the door" and I'll do my best to get extended and successful on that team or maybe another team
Two weeks after the interview I asked HR for an update. They said the job was on "standby" which I guess means budget signoff or something. A few days later HR called and offered me the job yaaaay
......however they said I would work for an agency and not be a direct employee. They said the terms and conditions and salary are mostly the same but I would not work for them. I said I applied direct on their website and not through the agency and HR said this was how it would be
Why does a company do this? I will take the job anyway but I wanted to work for them. Now an agency gets a cut of my salary each week and they did zero to even get me the job. I find this confusing
thanks
