I have decided to make the move to the Wellington IT pond. However, I am now going through the joys of dealing with the Wellington employment agencies and I can say it has not been the most enjoyable experience to date.

Does anyone have recommendations for agencies? Either for or against?

One agency appears to have led me down a path on a role that they do not appear to be officially representing the organisation for (I discovered the employer had their own add in place as well). A friend has told me it is common practice for them to read listings and then create their own listing for the role and try and refer people to the organisation. Has anybody experienced this?

Another agency is listing roles they do not actually have available. All this is really wasting a lot of my time and becoming increasingly frustrating.

Thanks
