I don't hold recruitment agencies in high regard but the initial conversation I had with a salesman at Technical Resources (Weybridge) has to go down as the lowest point in my relationship with recruitment agencies.

Conversation:

TR: HELLO! (That was it! How professional. If I answered a phone like that in my sphere of work I would get a verbal warning)
Me: I'm just returning a voice mail that was left for me. (these cowboys initially called me)
TR: WHO WAS IT!
Me: Not entirely sure as the VM was scrambled due to a bad line.
TR: WHAT SKILLS DO YOU HAVE?!
Me: (Outlined my skill set)
TR: I know the position you're talking about. Do you have so and so skills?
Me: No, I have 'these skills' as outlined on my CV you must have seen.
TR: No, we don't have any lower level jobs at the moment. (cheeky little no mark)
Me: Sorry, but what is your name?
TR: Matthew. Ok? We'll be in contact, Bye. (put the phone down on me)
Me to myself: Ok then bye. (Matthew you're a numpty!)

Needless to say I won't be in contact with these cowboy salesmen again. The management at TR need to get their staff under control or abandon their targets culture as it's making your staff look like arrogant buffoons.

I've never spoken to a ruder, more unprofessional, disrespectful, cocky little oik in my life. So Matthew from Technical Resources (Weybridge, UK) you have been named and shamed. On this showing the future definitely doesn't look orange for you.

Don't touch these jokers with a barge pole. That is: TECHNICAL RESOURCES (WEYBRIDGE, UK)
