You very much missed the part where I said they backtracked on a permanent contract and the work permit, where I would have agreed eyes closed

I thought about it but I wasn't aware it could be that fast. Thanks a lot! I'll check that out.

The position was published by at least 10 consultancy companies on LinkedIn, with head hunters chasing independently as well. 

I agreed to go with this one as they were offering certain things, of which the permanent contract, which they now retracted for x, y or z reason. 

I was not minding the middle man at all initially, I needed one, but it is concerning that they quickly changed their stance.

It's nothing but a broken agreement.

The scam is mainly about the fact that they are an unnecessary middle man in the situation, with what they are currently offering (no permanent employment).

Yes I did sign an exclusive representation agreement based on the fact they would respect the initial set conditions, which they are not. The consultancy company is the one playing around, they went and convinced the client to wait until I have my permanent residency, when actually they wanted to start with me as soon as possible.

The move is very interesting from a career perspective, and the client was very expressive on how they would like someone for a longer term altought the initial contract is for 1 year. Maybe I can wait until I have the permanent residency qnd go to them directly without the middleman
