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
redundancy package would only start from employment date with Bank directly.
Bear in mind now that you have the upper hand.
You never were applying to be a direct employee. I assume was a daily rate contract?The job was for a 6 month contract.
Most of the large finance / tech companies including the one I work for are using this structure. They have effectively outsourced the administration of contractors with an added benefit of an extra layer of protection against contractors making claims to be full time employees of the company. Many of these multinationals will retain about 10% variable staffing to accommodate changing priorities or projects being cancelled.
It is quite common for these same companies to later convert these contractors to full time employees if they are good and the permanent headcount capacity is there. I know if one that sources a large portion of its full time staff this way.
If your goal is to secure full time employment with this company, there is nothing to fear with this approach, but don't start playing silly buggers and trying to re-negotiate anything that has already been agreed. That will stick in the memory when your initial term is up.
Not so unless things have changed recently. Your employer is the bank and not the agency for such purposes.
It's quite possible that the employer hopes that most people don't understand this.

Hi,
I wasn't told about my contract in the interview. That's more of a HR issue. I just discussed with the hiring managers all my amazing personal and technical skills ha. Agency or directly employed never came up.
