Stuck in a Restrictive Covenant
A while back I was made aware of a new website called Zubka, a job board with a web 2.0 twist. At the time and I was not convinced, and recently Louise made reference to them. What made me look again, was a recent email they sent and a client looking to start out on his own, but worried about restrictive Covenants in recruitment contracts.
My normal response to restrictive covenants is to have a back up, just in case your previous employer decides to take you to court. Because without your contact list you are going to find it tough at the beginning. I should know as it happened to me twice and I survived.
So if you find you cannot contact your old client list then Zubka could help, because here you have a list of clients or agencies who are willing to pay referral fees giving you an opportunity to earn some revenue while while your hands are tied for a year.
A word of warning is agencies that use the system will prefer to place someone and get a full fee rather than pass on a percentage, so choose carefully look at the agencies who are trying to fill positions they don’t normally recruit for as a starting point.
With good fees to be earnt from £1000 up it is worth taking a look, while you are waiting for the restrictive covenants to be lifted!

[...] video is below and some recent thought of mine can be found here and on Louise’s blog [...]
This is certainly an interesting idea Stephen - just a quick note to point out that there is also another UK referral recruitment site by way of JobTonic - http://www.jobtonic.com.
Kind regards,

[...] Alistair contacted me yesterday, so sorry for the delay as he wanted to let me know that Jobtronic have managed to break the 1,000 barrier for vacancies, that can be filled by networking rather than the traditional methods, which I touched on here. [...]
