If they(agencies) secure an interview and a candidate has been successful at obtaining a second interview(or so he's led to believe) it is the recruitment agency that follows up and communicates how things went. - true, but an agency cannot MAKE a client want to 2nd interview you. Even if the int went real well, maybe the client told u he will be in touch for u to come in again as he didnt want no uncomfortableness. If the agency didnt give YOU a valid reason [which imo not enough experience is pretty valid] then thats that agencies fault, so slagging off everyother agency in the UK isnt right.
In my opinion if agencies which to place people then they should follow through right to the end and give the candiate a VALID reason as to why they have been unsuccessful. - agencies do do that, again, you must of joined a shitty agency
I dont mean to put a downer on the subject however there are a lot of recruitment agencies(agents)whatever you want to call them) out there who are pure and utter c**ts! - maybe so, but not ALL consultants are cunts so maybe you should think about joining another agency?
